I have a little problem. I'm trying to set up Dovecot deliver (1.0
beta 3) as the LDA for Exim4 on Ubuntu 6.06 with MBOX, and I'm running into permissions problems. Exim typically wants to run pipes as the user to whom the mail is being delivered (as per the "check_local_user"). deliver needs access to the auth socket and needs to be able to create files in /var/mail.If Exim sets the UID/GID already, does it also set HOME environment,
or can you set default_mail_env without relying on the home dir
coming from userdb? In that case if you just don't give -d parameter
to deliver, it won't even try to connect to dovecot-auth and it won't
try to change uid/gid.
Would it be possible to add a flag to the LDA which would prevent it from trying to set the UID/GID regardless of the HOME env and stuff?
Or, is it possible to set QUOTA environment variable as well?
