/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot: WARNING: failed to start dovecot
I followed the install guide 'FreeBSD with jail' except ezjail. prefer do jail by hands.
Install was successful without errors. and able to login iredadmin but web mail
so i see dovecot is not starting.
took several idea about 'listen' portion of dovecot.conf without no difference
if i exclude ip6 by 'listen = * , not still throwing errors
i am stuck here. pls. help
this is done by Fresh Install inside jail of FreeBSD10
