Dovecot listener doesnt start after 3.2.8 upgrade

    I did the 3.2.8 upgrade on my master server and everything was fine.
    Went to install 3.2.8 on my mail server and after the install imap wasnt working. When I restarted Dovecot, the listeners would not start. I looked at the /etc/dovecot folder and it renamed my old configuration file to dovecot.conf~ and the new dovecot.conf file didnt have all the stuff in in it compared to the old file. So I renamed the new config file to dovecot.conf.new and renamed the old file back to dovecot.conf and then restarted the service and things came up.
    So my question is, am I missing something on the server since I jumped from 3.2.2 to 3.2.8 to cause the dovecot not to work or is there something else going on?

    Thanks.

    You probably had something customized. Can you share the content of the 2 files?

    Also provide OS info and if you have the terminal output from your update, please post that as well (if not, were there any errors?).

    That was the entirety of the new dovecot.conf ?

    Yep, there was nothing else in it. That's what seemed odd and strange to me. That's why I renamed the old back to the original and things came right up.

    You could keep a copy of that config then re-run the updater and reconfigure services again; I don't really have any ideas offhand what happened. 2 things writing to the file at one time ? If you can reproduce the problem we can maybe track it down and fix it.

    I'll be updating to 3.2.8p1 shortly so I'll see if it does it again and let you know.

    Thanks.
