Hello everyone

I'm getting this error in my mail log and I don't know if it's a problem with my Exim or my Courier-Imap configuration.

Dec 28 00:07:46 vps imapd: Failed to create cache file: maildirwatch (in@arsenal-mania.com) Dec 28 00:07:46 vps imapd: Error: Input/output error Dec 28 00:07:46 vps imapd: Check for proper operation and configuration Dec 28 00:07:46 vps imapd: of the File Access Monitor daemon (famd).

I never received this error before today.

The only change I've done is compiled Exim with mysql support and use Courier-Imap to authenticate from mysql.

If I'm posting to the wrong list I apologise but I'm not sure what is causing the famd error.

A search on Google says that it's most likely to be Courier, but I want to be sure.

A few solutions (like turning on fam and famd) didn't work, but I never previously needed these.

Yes, you did. This error indicates that FAM is not functioning properly.

At the moment, no emails are being delivered to their mailboxes and I am presuming that the error above is the cause of this.

No, it's not. Courier-IMAP has nothing to do with delivering mail. An IMAP server's responsibility consists only of providing access to existing mail in existing mailboxes. How mail gets there is something that the IMAP server has absolutely no involvement in.

But, it's rather likely that whatever's responsible for breaking FAM on your box is also responsible for breaking mail delivery in your mail server.
