[Dovecot] Re : Permission denied

[Frédéric Sapin]

Hello Timo,

I'm using linux Fedora Core 2.
The permissions are :
drwxrwxrwt    2 root     mail           32 2004-06-16 04:45 /var/spool/mail/

These permissions are made buy the command chmod a+rwxt /var/spool/mail.

So if someone wants to erase the /var/spool/mail directory, it's possible 
unfortunately.

If there are theses permissions the user can receive his mails but it's 
dangerous I think.
And if I modify the dovecot.conf file :
mail_extra_groups = mail
and if the permissions are the initial permission, and if I enter chmod +t 
/var/spool/mail the user can't receive his mail.

Thanks

Frederic
