Hi all,

My situation is this: I have postfix running on a Linode under Arch Linux. A recent upgrade to dovecot broke the configuration. Now I get "Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting)."

I do not want virtual users. I do not particularly want SQL or LDAP. I do have multiple domains. I do use Maildir. I already have SSL certificates for the server which I did manage to get dovecot to quit complaining about.

The documentation is driving me nuts. It keeps telling me about stuff I think I don't need. And I can't tell what I actually *do* need. All I want is for system users, including myself, to be able to get their mail.

How do I do this?

Thank you! David Benfell dbenfell@gmail.com
