Hi all,
I have been fiddling with dovecot and things seem to be stuck on this problem:
Oct 20 11:21:35 mail dovecot: chdir(studiosala.net/federico/) failed
with uid 1001: Permission denied
Oct 20 11:21:35 mail dovecot: child 22150 (pop3) returned error 89
This is the telnet session that generates it:
mail:~# telnet localhost pop3
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK dovecot ready.
user federico at studiosala.net
+OK
pass XXXXXX
+OK Logged in.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I am stuck: the UID/GID that postfix uses for dropping the mail in
/varm/mail/domains/ is 1001/1001. The query string to mysql (the
backend where I have stored the users) is (from mysql log, so it is
executed):
682 Query SELECT 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, '/var/mail/domains/'
AS mail, maildir AS home FROM mailbox WHERE username =
'ale at studiosala.net'
mail:/etc# ls -lad /var/mail
drwxrwsr-t 3 root mail 4096 2004-10-19 23:49 /var/mail
mail:/etc# ls -lad /var/mail/domains/
drwxr-sr-t 4 vmail vmail 4096 2004-10-20 07:03 /var/mail/domains/
I am not sure of how to proceed from here, any hint appreciated.
thanks
stef
