Hello all!
Recently I upgraded my mail server to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and ever since
then I am periodically getting some dovecot errors like the below in
my mail log. As far as I can tell, my unix perms are just fine. What
is ACL/MAC?
Aug 20 14:41:58 mail dovecot:
imap(user@domain.com)<56316><1NieGKPmuOdKwxVI>: Error: Mailbox INBOX:
stat(/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log
http://domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log) failed: Permission denied
(euid=1000(austin) egid=1000(austin) UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC
wrong?))
And here is the listing showing the permissions for that file.
*austin@mail*:*~*$ ls -la
/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log
http://domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log
-rwxrwxr-- 1 austin austin 15796 Aug 20 14:41
*/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log
http://domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log*
What in the world is causing these errors, and what can I do about them?
Thanks in advance!

Do you use any ACLs? Is this just a block device mounted or do you use
any network file sharing like nfs?
ACLs you can check by 'getfacl foo'.
