With older versions you'd have to put the dovecot-acl file to each maildir separately
Thanks, but it still isn't clear to me. I have (the same, hardlinked) dovecot-acl file in lots of different places:
# tree /home/pubfolders2/ -a
/home/pubfolders2/
|-- .info
| |-- cur
| |-- dovecot-acl
| |-- dovecot-shared
| |-- new
| | -- 1251457688.H922394P13547.magenta.tiger-computing.wbp | -- tmp
|-- Maildir
| -- dovecot-acl -- dovecot-acl
There isn't a 'maildir' folder as such for the public folders (I created the one shown above in desperation just to see if Dovecot would look there). Here's the dovecot.conf:
protocols = imap imaps disable_plaintext_auth = no log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = shared2/ location = maildir:/home/pubfolders2:INDEX=~/Maildir/public2 subscriptions = no list = children } mail_privileged_group = mail mail_access_groups = pubfolders2 protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl }
protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol managesieve { } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { acl = vfile }
That isn't working, so exactly where should the dovecot-acl file go for it to work?
Thanks, Keith
