[Bug 700741] [NEW] dovecot won't start during boot

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Dovecot won't automatically start during boot.
In /var/log/mail.log the following messages are logged:

Jan  9 17:46:40 njord dovecot: bind(<ip address>, 993) failed: Cannot assign requested address
Jan  9 17:46:40 njord dovecot: Fatal: listen(<ip address>, 993) failed: Cannot assign requested address

I think this issue is related to the fact that I've specified specific
interfaces on which dovecot should listen in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

protocol imap {
   listen = 94.142.x.x:143, 192.168.x.x:143
   ssl_listen = 94.142.x.x:993,[2a02:898:x::x:0]:993, 192.168.x.x:993
}
