[gentoo-server] Problem while starting Courier-IMAP

[Christian Spoo]

Hi,

I've been running net-mail/courier-imap version 4.0.1 for quite a while
but suddenly it refuses to restart. A /etc/init.d/courier-imapd restart
simply fails.

I can run the server manually by issuing the following:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/couriertcpd -address=0
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger
-stderrloggername=imapd -maxprocs=40 -maxperip=10
-pid=/var/run/imapd.pid -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 143
/usr/sbin/imaplogin /usr/sbin/courier-imapd .Maildir

It works completely but this couldn't be a real solution for the future.

Below is Courier's configuration for IMAP:
# grep -v "^#.*" /etc/courier-imap/imapd | grep <v "^$"
ADDRESS=0
PORT=143
MAXDAEMONS=40
MAXPERIP=10
PIDFILE=/var/run/imapd.pid
TCPDOPTS="-nodnslookup -noidentlookup"
IMAP_CAPABILITY="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE"
IMAP_KEYWORDS=1
IMAP_CAPABILITY_ORIG="IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE

IMAP_UMASK=022

IMAP_SHAREDINDEXFILE=/etc/courier-imap/shared/index
IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE=0
IMAP_TRASHFOLDERNAME=Trash

IMAP_MOVE_EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH=0
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
HEADERFROM=X-IMAP-Sender
IMAPDSTART=YES
MAILDIR=.Maildir
MAILDIRPATH=.Maildir

Hope, you can help me. I'm very dependant on this mailserver.


Best regards,
