[Dovecot] Dovecot replication - I'm stuck
by IT geek 31 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hi, I've been following the wiki document at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, but I've become stuck. I'm running version 2.1.3 on NetBSD 5.2 (v2.2+ isn't available as a package yet, and compiling my own is well outside my wheelhouse). I have a couple of questions: The wiki page keeps referring to "vmail". Is this a just system user I need to create? Presumably on both Dovecot boxes? If I don't use virtual users, do I need this? Here is my dovecot -n: # 2.1.3: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.2 cobalt auth_mechanisms = plain login dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l%{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u%u listen = 192.168.1.1 login_greeting = Go on then, let's have it... mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_plugins = " notify replication" passdb { driver = passwd } plugin { mail_replica = remote:vmail@server2.mydomain.com replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours } protocols = imap service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/mail.mydomain.com.crt ssl_key = </etc/openssl/private/mail.mydomain.com.key userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com } Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'd really love to get this working. Thanks, -Mark

Re: [Dovecot] Dbox group file permissions
by Chris Lasater 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Just in case someone else has the same problem, I had to change the following two variables mail_home = /mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_location = dbox:/mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n to mail_home = /mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_location = dbox:~/ "When mail_location begins with%h or~/, its permissions are copied from the first existing parent directory if it has setgid-bit set. This isn't done when the path contains any other %variables."

[Dovecot] Blocking certain hostnames/clients
by Charles Marcus 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Hello, As a result of learning of the new 'Intro' App introduced by LinkedIn, and discussing how to block SMTP access to my postfix server from these clients, I'm now interested in doing the same for dovecot. Bottom line desire is to avoid scraping/hijacking email stored on my dovecot server by any client other than a users client. This includes Intro (so, LinkedIn), Blackberry, GMail, Outlook, etc. The boss has expressed the desire to NOT block all email from them, just disallow any of their clients from AUTH'ing (either SMTP or IMAP/POP). I'd be interested if anyone has any kind of database of hostnames/IP blocks of the freemailers out there that support adding 3rd party accounts, especially ones supporting IMAP. Anyway, article raising the concern found here: http://www.bishopfox.com/blog/2013/10/linkedin-intro/ "LinkedIn released a new product today called Intro. They call it ?doing the impossible?, but some might call it ?hijacking email?. Why do we say this? Consider the following: Intro reconfigures your iOS device (e.g. iPhone, iPad) so that all of your emails go through LinkedIn?s servers. You read that right. Once you install the Intro app, all of your emails, both sent and received, are transmitted via LinkedIn?s servers. LinkedIn is forcing all your IMAP and SMTP data through their own servers and then analyzing and scraping your emails for data pertaining to?whatever they feel like." -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Which MTA for a personal-use dovecot instance?
by Dan Langille 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

I'm planning to deploy a personal dovecot IMAP server (i.e. I am the only user) in a FreeBSD jail. At present, I have IMAP deployed on the same host as one of my mail servers, which is running Postfix. I do like Postfix, but it seems to be a bit overkill for this particular situation. All my incoming MX are provided by Google. They handle the incoming mail and forward to my private MX, and from there the mail for me goes into my ~/Maildir. With the move to IMAP in a jail, I need to get the mail from my private MX into that jail. All mail being sent to that jail will be destined for my ~/Maildir, with some massaging via procmail. Given that I've just started using mail/nullmailer, I was wondering if there was something simple that I could use. I was planning to use postfix, require TLS, lock things down tightly. But I'm open to suggestions for something simple. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxy hooks
by dac＠getodata.ro 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

I am interested in the possibility of using Dovecot IMAP/POP proxying capabilities to analyze emails that are passing through and possibly modify content on the fly. This subject has been discussed here [1] before. I have tried the mail-filter plugin [2], but the hooks it uses are only called in a non-proxy setup. Is there a practical way of doing this, or plans to add such a feature?

[Dovecot] Plugin issue with update from 2.0.19 to 2.1.17
by Reinaldo Matukuma 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

Hello. Probably only Timo can help-me with this. I have a self-made plugin based on the zlib plugin that i use to cryptograph the messages at inbox. As a side-effect of the cryptography, my plugin changes the size of the message, but until 2.0.19 this works well with dovecot index and the W/S flags. But now, i'm going to upgrade to 2.1.17 and now i have these messages on log at my test ambiance: Oct 15 20:19:25 test dovecot: imap(reinaldo(a)exemplo.com.br): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (367 < 529) Oct 15 20:19:25 test dovecot: imap(reinaldo(a)exemplo.com.br): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /storage/test/messages/exemplo.com.br/reinaldo/Maildir/.Sent/cur/1381879158.M634385P5208.test,S=367,W=378:2,S to /storage/test/messages/exemplo.com.br/reinaldo/Maildir/.Sent/cur/1381879158.M634385P5208.test,S=529:2,S Oct 15 20:19:25 test dovecot: imap(reinaldo(a)exemplo.com.br): Error: Corrupted index cache file /storage/test/messages/exemplo.com.br/reinaldo/Maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 6 I understood with these messages that the dovecot is arguing to get the real size of the file now, overriding the return of size from my crypto plugin. But i don't understood if this is a consequence from the changes to correct the index issue (the dovecot.index.cache issue). So... I want know if the correct way to fix this would be change my plugin to return the real size of the file (that will be larger than the effective message that the plugin returne after the de-cryptography) or if i need use some new function to the plugin replace the expected size based on the real size of the message, not of the file. Thanks Reinaldo

[Dovecot] Login into other user's account // master user for non-master users // chroot to users.<user>
by Steffen Kaiser 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Currently some of our organizational roles uses shared secrets (aka the password) to access the mail account of an organizational role, say "sales" for example. For one, I don't like shared secrets, for second, there had been some changes to shared mailboxes, I can only say "user sales has deleted the message at then and then". Therefore I would like to access the mailboxes of organizational roles with the accounts of the humans performing the role currently. Using sharing and ACLs it is possible to map the mailboxes of "sales" to "users.sales" namespace for specific other users, actually the human ones, say userA and userB for example. However, userB does not like managing identities in its MUA and refuses to acknowledge the messages in users.sales for various reasons. One reason was that userB wants to visibly separate strictly both mail accounts, the private messages in "userB" and the role's ones in "sales". Now, I came into thinking that it would be good in such case, if userB could authentificate as, say "sales*userB" - much like a master user - and ends in "sales"'s home, but with access permissions of "userB", well, like a chroot. Would it be an interesting feature to add to Dovecot's core? If I simulate "sales*userB" with password of userB and let the userdb return the home of sales, userB would gain "owner" privilegues of sales implicitly. So there seems to exist no workaround.

[Dovecot] LMTP, TLS/SSL, authentication, proxy
by Jogi Hofmüller 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

Folks, Several questions packed into one email ;) Can dovecot use TLS/SSL on LTMP inet socket? Can I configure dovecot to only let an authenticated user deliver mail via LMTP? Can I tell dovecot to use a user/password for proxying LMTP connections? All this is related to my quest to move from cyrus to dovecot transparently to our users. And if any of the above questions can be answered with yes, I would appreciate the odd hint on howto configure that :) Thanks in advance! -- j.hofmüller aka Thesix http://users.mur.at/thesix/

[Dovecot] Empty Mails from MAILER-DAEMON with Dovecot-Antispam and DSPAM
by Anna Christina Naß 26 Oct '13

26 Oct '13

Hallo, I've installed the dovecot-Antispam extension to my dovecot IMAP installation in conjunction with DSPAM. But when moving Mails from e.g. INBOX to Spam or vice versa, empty mails from MAILER-DAEMON appear after the original mail has been moved. This happens using Thunderbird 17esr, K-9 Mail on Android and Apple Mail (Mountain Lion). (Perhaps also when using a Webmail IMAP client) The source from one of these empty mails looks like this: ----snip---- Return-Path: <MAILER-DAEMON> X-Original-To: acn Delivered-To: acn(a)mydomain.name Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by <my host name> (Postfix) with SMTP id CB81B140011 for <acn>; Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:23:33 +0200 (CEST) X-DSPAM-Reclassified: Spam Message-Id: <20131024072333.CB81B140011@<my host name>> Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:23:33 +0200 (CEST) From: MAILER-DAEMON ----/snip---- Do you have any idea why these mails appear and how I can prevent it?

[Dovecot] UIDL conversion courier -> dovecot
by Will Yardley 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

I've got a weird split setup where POP3 is currently handled by Courier (courier-imap-3.0.2 distribution), and IMAP is currently handled by the RHEL 5 version of Dovecot (1.0.7) I'm trying to figure out a way to convert the POP3 UIDLs (in cases where the courierpop3dsizelist is newer than dovecot-uidlist, at least) to something that Dovecot will read, or to configure Dovecot's pop3 to use a UIDL format that will work, as mentioned in the migration wiki. We have some "squeaky wheel" users who don't have their POP clients set to delete messages, and are likely to complain about re-downloading their several GB of mail. Thus far, the migration scripts haven't seemed to work properly, maybe because of the versions I'm using. I'm not sure whether the Courier versions there refer to Courier MTA version or Courier IMAP version, but adjusting the UIDL format to %v-%u (as suggested for early Courier 3 / Dovecot 1.0) hasn't worked (I saw %u-%v online, but that also didn't work). Since the Courier system doesn't seem to report validity, I also tried just '%u' - this works *if* I delete the header line as well as rename the courierpop3dsizelist to dovecot-uidlist, but I still don't get the exact same UIDLs as before. I'm willing to write my own migration tool, or to adapt the existing one, but I could use some assistance knowing how to do the translation. Dovecot -n for that instance is below, slightly sanitized, obviously I can change pop3_uidl_format; I also tried getting rid of pop3_reuse_xuidl: Basically, to give a concreate example, the Courier system seems to use the filename as the UIDL, with this courierpop3dsizelist: /2 45 1382654636 1199751891.13891_0.water-ox:2,Sa 2412 0:1382654636 1199927364.22870_0.fire-ox:2,S 2440 0:1382654636 1199936486.3332_0.wood-ox:2,Sa 2074 0:1382654636 1199985712.27745_0.water-ox:2,RS 4007 0:1382654636 1199993867.23139_0.fire-ox:2,S 1550 0:1382654636 producing this UIDL output: UIDL +OK 1 1199751891.13891_0.water-ox 2 1199927364.22870_0.fire-ox 3 1199936486.3332_0.wood-ox 4 1199985712.27745_0.water-ox 5 1199993867.23139_0.fire-ox [...] Dovecot's dovecot-uidlist: 3 V1199747645 N606 562 W2412 :1199751891.13891_0.water-ox:2,Sa 563 W2440 :1199927364.22870_0.fire-ox:2,S 564 W2074 :1199936486.3332_0.wood-ox:2,Sa 565 W4007 :1199985712.27745_0.water-ox:2,RS 566 W1550 :1199993867.23139_0.fire-ox:2,S producing: UIDL +OK 1 1199747645-562 2 1199747645-563 3 1199747645-564 4 1199747645-565 5 1199747645-566 (or, if I change the format to just %u): +OK 1 650 2 651 3 652 4 653 5 654 # dovecot --version 1.0.7 # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.d/XXX.cfg base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/pop-its syslog_facility: local4 protocols: pop3 pop3s listen: *:110 ssl_listen: *:995 ssl_ca_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/XX.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/XXXX.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/XXXX.key disable_plaintext_auth: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/pop-its/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability: yes login_processes_count: 4 login_max_processes_count: 512 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/maildir/%1Ln/%Ln:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/indexes/%1Ln/%Ln mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_reuse_xuidl: yes pop3_uidl_format: %v-%u pop3_client_workarounds: outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: Mail. inbox: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot.conf-ldap userdb: driver: static args: uid=vmail gid=mail home=/var/spool/maildir/%1Ln/%Ln socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/pop-its/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: mail TIA! /wby

[Dovecot] Replication (Mac OS X)
by Rusty Ross 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

Hello, I am taking a stab at setting up dovecot replication between two OS X Mavericks servers. (The dovecot version in Mavericks is 2.2.5.) The first question I have is in regards to userdb. The user accounts are Open Directory based. The output of: doveadm user ‘*' …yields only: # doveadm user ‘*' submit However, specific user accounts can be looked up explicitly, ie: # doveadm user 'mary' field value uid 214 gid 6 home mail maildir:/Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/10C94BF9-5CC4-4DDB-B0F0-5D23F22B2D9F quota maildir:User quota:noenforcing quota_rule *:storage=0 mail_location maildir:/Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/10C94BF9-5CC4-4DDB-B0F0-5D23F22B2D9F sieve /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/10C94BF9-5CC4-4DDB-B0F0-5D23F22B2D9F/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/10C94BF9-5CC4-4DDB-B0F0-5D23F22B2D9F sieve_storage /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/10C94BF9-5CC4-4DDB-B0F0-5D23F22B2D9F According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, user listing via “doveadm user ‘*’” is required for replication. Any thoughts about how I can get that working (or work around it) in this environment? Thanks, Rusty

[Dovecot] dsync core dump

25 Oct '13

Dear all, We're slowly progressing towards migration, and now run into dscyn dumping core when trying to sync mailboxes from the old imap server. Needless to say that not one byte get's transferred.

[Dovecot] Replication not happening on 2.2
by Lucas Rothamel - Eye Catching Webdesign 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hello, first - thanks for the help in getting dovecot 2.2 compiled and installed on Debian. I have Dovecot 2.2 running now on two servers, and to test replication, I am polling mail on one server whilst the other creates mail regularly from crontab output. I have replication set up, but nothing at all is appearing on the other server, and I do not have any dsync / doveadm messages in /var/log/mail.log any more. With 2.1, these two used to spam many errors into mail.log. Any hints? Here is my dovecot-n output: # 2.2.6: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.2 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 disable_plaintext_auth = no log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = " notify replication" mail_privileged_group = mail passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { mail_replica = remote:vmail@mydomain quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=1GB replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours } protocols = imap pop3 service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service config { unix_listener config { user = vmail } } service doveadm { user = vmail } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota postmaster_address = sysop@mydomain } Thanks, Lucas -- Lucas Rothamel Eye Catching Webdesign info(a)eye-catching-webdesign.de - www.eye-catching-webdesign.de You know, we go to the gym to keep the body fit.

[Dovecot] mailbox sharing with mdbox
by NOC WVNET 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hello, i want to know if it's possible to use mailbox sharing with mdbox. I have done a setup with maildir where it's working fine but with mdbox I'm only able to subscribe the shared folder but there are no messages in it. (maybe a problem with the namespace) I'm running dovecot 2.2.6 [deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.2.patched main ] on Debian Wheezy Kind regards Stefan

Hello I have to setup a "secured" email server - encrypted filesystem - SSL or TLS only for SMTP and IMAPS - Talking only to some known other same-secured servers Any info/links welcome ! Please do not start some flame war around this ! I've been ordered to set up such server and I KNOW there are probably security holes but nothing's perfect so a starting point is necessary *Thank you for any infos*

[Dovecot] Odd Feature Request - RBL blacklist lookup to prevent authentication
by Marc Perkel 23 Oct '13

23 Oct '13

I would like to have a list of IPs (hacker list) that I can do a lookup on so that if anyone tries to authenticate to dovecot they always fail if they are on my list. I have the list - and the list is available as a DNS blacklist. I'd like to have it work with both local IP lists or RBL lookup. The idea is so hackers from known IP addresses never succeed. If Dovecot provides the feature I have about 1/2 million IP addresses of known current hackers to block. Anyone else interested in this?

[Dovecot] fstat() errors on /srv/mail/<username>/dovecot.index.log

Dovecot version 2.1.7 Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Kernel 3.2.0-35-generic x86_64 I'm not sure exactly when this started occurring, but sporatically users report issues receiving email, having email saved to "Sent," etc. Looking in dovecot.log, I see the following errors: 2013-10-16 09:53:20 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27434, secured, session=<PnoiBtzoBgB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:53:20 imap(user1): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=93 out=846 2013-10-16 09:53:21 imap(user2): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=3616 out=495 2013-10-16 09:53:24 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user3>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27436, secured, session=<jE5kBtzoBwB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:53:24 imap(user3): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=93 out=819 2013-10-16 09:53:33 imap(user4): Error: fstat() failed with file /srv/mail/user4/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory 2013-10-16 09:53:33 imap(user4): Error: fstat() failed with file /srv/mail/user4/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory 2013-10-16 09:53:33 imap(user4): Error: fstat() failed with file /srv/mail/user4/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory 2013-10-16 09:53:33 imap(user4): Error: fstat() failed with file /srv/mail/user4/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory 2013-10-16 09:53:33 imap(user4): Error: fstat() failed with file /srv/mail/user4/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory 2013-10-16 09:53:33 imap(user4): Error: fstat() failed with file /srv/mail/user4/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory 2013-10-16 09:53:41 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user3>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27438, secured, session=<UDJlB9zoCAB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:53:41 imap(user3): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=93 out=819 2013-10-16 09:54:12 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27440, secured, session=<6bI5CdzoCQB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:54:12 imap(user1): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=93 out=846 2013-10-16 09:54:12 imap(user5): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=736 out=7064 2013-10-16 09:54:15 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user6>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27442, secured, session=<t+FnCdzoCgB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:54:15 imap(user6): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=95 out=902 2013-10-16 09:54:20 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27444, secured, session=<c/q1CdzoCwB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:54:20 imap(user1): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=93 out=846 2013-10-16 09:54:24 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<user3>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=27446, secured, session=<nOb3CdzoDAB/AAAB> 2013-10-16 09:54:24 imap(user3): Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=93 out=819 These errors are not confined to a single user, and do not occur with the same frequency. I originally was running the Dovecot shipped with the default Ubuntu repositories (don't remember which version, but it was 1.*) and used a backport to upgrade to 2.1.7 to see if that fixed it. It did not. Any ideas why this is happening?

[Dovecot] doveadm: Fatal: open(/dev/tty)
by Dan Langille 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

I received this message today, and remembered, you can't do that... $ doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT Enter new password: doveadm(dan): Fatal: open(/dev/tty) failed: No such file or directory </pre> It seems if you have no tty, you can't create a password. Surely there is a better way to do this? Looking at the code, it's trying to open the tty and turn off echo. For the record: FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p3 And yes, there is no console. I'm attached to a FreeBSD jail from the host system, directly via the ezjail-admin console command. # w 6:52PM up 18 days, 23:34, 0 users, load averages: 0.96, 0.57, 0.46 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT # Ain't nobody there.. -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/

by Asmaa Ahmed 22 Oct '13

Hello, I am trying to use postfix/dovecot as mail server to be the imap storage for my voicemail system.For that I installed postfix and dovecot and trying to follow the instructions in this post http://etel.wiki.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php?title=Storing_Voicemail_on_an_I… I should add a master user for Asterisk to your IMAP server that has access to all user's mailboxes and as per the instructions, I should edit auth section in dovecot.conf which I can't find!

[Dovecot] Dbox group file permissions
by Chris Lasater 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hi everyone, I feel like I am missing something obvious here. I have dovecot up and running and every piece of mail is given user read/write permission. I see the option mail_gid, but I do not see anyplace to set the group permissions. I see the below wiki talking about new home directories getting their permission from the parent directory, but this does not seem to work. Any assistance would be appreciated. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions I changed the group permissions on the parent directory, and used rm -rf to delete the user directories, then logged in again so it was recreated. [user@dovecot ~]$ sudo ls -la /mnt/home/imapd/domain.example.net/ total 24 drwxr-x--- 6 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 17:35 . drwxr-xr-x 46 imapd nagios 4096 Oct 21 16:55 .. drwx------ 3 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 16:59 user1 drwx------ 3 imapd imapd 4096 Oct 21 17:35 user2 Setup Mail is written in dbox format CentOS 5.9 dovecot 2.2.6 NFS with director Mail Configs mail_home = /mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_location = dbox:/mnt/home/imapd/%d/%n mail_uid = imapd mail_gid = imapd Thanks, Chris
