Does your ssh connection last long enough, or will it terminate prematurely because there is no traffic, and/or from interaction with statefule firewalls and thereabouts? 2. Are you sure the remote command is the right one? It would seem that "dovecot --exec-mail imap" is the right way to do it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
