Michal Hlavinka 2016-10-26 13:52:03 UTC Doc Text Dovecot's default configuration of first_valid_uid was changed to 1000 to match system wide configuration from /etc/login.defs If sytem has configuration manually changed to 500 and is relying on dovecot's default value, dovecot will not serve users with id lower than first_valid_uid. As a consequence you have to update first_valid_uid if you have regular users with id less than 1000. With this change, dovecot will work as expected.

Doc Text Dovecot's default configuration of first_valid_uid was changed to 1000 to match system wide configuration from /etc/login.defs If sytem has configuration manually changed to 500 and is relying on dovecot's default value, dovecot will not serve users with id lower than first_valid_uid. As a consequence you have to update first_valid_uid if you have regular users with id less than 1000. With this change, dovecot will work as expected. The default value of `first_valid_uid` of *dovecot* has changed

In RHEL7, the default value of `first_valid_uid` of *dovecot* has changed from `500`, as it was in RHEL6, to `1000`. Consequently, if the RHEL6 installation does not have `first_valid_uid` explicitly defined, the *dovecot* configuration will brake after the update to RHEL7.
To avoid breaking of the configuration, redefine `first_valid_uid` to `500` after the upgrade using the `/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf` file.
This only affects installations where `first_valid_uid` was not explicitly defined.

The default value of `first_valid_uid` in *dovecot* has changed

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, the default configuration of `first_valid_uid` in *dovecot* was changed to `1000` to match the system wide configuration specified as `UID_MIN` in the `/etc/login.defs` file. If a system has `UID_MIN` manually changed to `500` and is relying on *dovecot* default value, *dovecot* will not serve users with IDs lower than `first_valid_uid`.
As a consequence, if you have regular users with id less than `1000`, you have to update `first_valid_uid`. After you do this, *dovecot* will work as expected.
