Currently, chasquid attempts to auto-detect dovecot sockets when starting up (if needed). If autodetection fails, chasquid emits an error, continues serving, and never tries again. This can be problematic if chasquid starts up before dovecot, and at the time the dovecot sockets are not present (e.g. after a reboot). In that case, chasquid will not use dovecot for authentication even after dovecot has started. This patch changes the autodetect logic, by doing autodetection at startup and on each request, until we find a working pair of sockets. Once we do, they're used consistently. That way, if dovecot is not ready when chasquid starts, it's not a problem and chasquid will start using dovecot once it becomes available. Thanks to Thor77 (thor77@thor77.org) for reporting and helping troubleshoot this issue.

This file contains a list of the most common known issues, and the release range affected. It can be useful for people running older versions, to identify problems (and workarounds) faster.
Entries are eventually be purged once their affected versions become uncommon, to prevent confusion.
Dovecot auth occasionally not functional after a reboot (0.04 to 1.6)
After a reboot, if chasquid starts before dovecot, it's possible that chasquid fails to autodetect the dovecot addresses, and the dovecot authentication will not be functional until chasquid is restarted.
This condition can be identified by seeing
Dovecot autodetection failed, no dovecot fallback in the chasquid logs, at
start-up time.
As a workaround, you can create the following systemd dropin file at
/etc/systemd/system/chasquid.service.d/after-dovecot.conf, to make chasquid
be started after dovecot:
[Unit]
After=dovecot.service
The issue is fixed in 1.7.
dkimsign causes parsing errors in post-data hook (0.07 to 1.5)
The default post-data hook in versions 0.07 to 1.5 has a bug where if the
dkimsign command exists, unwanted output will be emitted and cause the
post-data hook invocation to fail.
The problem can be identified by the following error in the logs:
Hook.Post-DATA 1.2.3.4:5678: error: error parsing post-data output: \"/usr/bin/dkimsign\\n...
As a workaround, you can edit the hook and make the change seen here.
The issue is fixed in 1.6.
