I am trying to have dovecot use an encfs file system - its the Maildir directory in user home directory - obviously trying to improve security. Since multiple mail programs may be used, user runs a local imap for storage. What I did was move an existing Maildir to encfs encrypted area and put a soft link in home directory pointing to it. Dovecot seems not to like this - first it complains mmap(.../dovecot.index) - no such device, then it complains link(xxx, dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed - Operation not permitted then it complains file_dot_lock_open(xxx/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Operation not permitted. This continues in the same vein. Anyone know if dovecot can work on an fuse-encfs filesystem for its ~/Maildir directory? thanks. g/
