Hello.

Freshly installed (maybe 2 weeks ago) iredmail 1.6.0. Installed using the downloadable .sh script.

Everything seems to be fine. I seem to receive / send e-mails as expected. However on every boot I see this:

root@mail:~# journalctl -b -l -x --no-pager -p 3
-- Journal begins at Fri 2022-07-08 11:16:02 IST, ends at Fri 2022-07-08 19:06:11 IST. --

Jul 08 19:05:50 mail.williwonka.eu dovecot[677]: stats: Error: conn stats-reader (127.0.0.1:53618): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line: EXPORT        global
root@mail:~#

I did see this post... 1.0-beta1 Report: dovecot stats-reader - Sorry I cannot link it. I am not allowed to add links.

When I tried the solution from that post:

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

service stats {
#    fifo_listener stats-mail {
#    user = vmail
#    mode = 0644
#  }

    unix_listener stats-writer {
        user = vmail
        group = vmail
        mode = 0660
    }

    inet_listener {
        address = 127.0.0.1
        port = 24242
    }
}

I get the same thing (port number changes) during the next boot. I tried also hashing out the stats-writer bit but also no effect.

Can you please try and help?

Ask for any additional info like command outputs or logs and you shall receive it.

Kindest regards.
