  • Dovecot already running

    I rebooted the server. And everything seems working perfectly now.


    Just for info, the output of "dovecot -n":



    Thanks.

  • Dovecot already running

    Hi,


    My mail logs are full of the following messages:
    This can be found in:
    /var/log/imscp/mail.smtp.log
    /var/log/imscp/mail.po.log
    and /var/log/mail.log

    My server is running:
    - Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
    - i-MSCP 1.1.18 Build: 20141122
    - dovecot 2.2.9



    I've already tried to kill all dovecot process, then delete the pid file. And restarting. after 5 minutes, i got the same problem again.


    Perhaps this is also important.
    Last week i have made an upgrade of ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04.1. With no problems.



    What can i do to fix this problem?
