Hello,
I am new to the list. /Waving at everyone/
I got a basic SpamAssassin working on a Debian setup (w/ debian-spamd user), running as a Postfix transport.
I am currently trying to switch it to a dovecot plugin in order to make it interactively work with the email storage (react to mail classification, being able to train it from already received emails, aso.) My problem is now making it able to access my emails.
Here is my setup: userdb { driver = static args = uid=<fixed> gid=<fixed> home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n }
passdb { driver = passwd-file args = <path to passwords file> }
mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs mail_privileged_group = vmail
Translating into this on the FS: drwxrwsr-x root mail /var/mail/ drwxrws--- root vmail /var/mail/vhosts drwx--S--- vmail vmail /var/mail/vhosts/domain1 drwx--S--- vmail vmail /var/mail/vhosts/domain1/user1 drwx--S--- vmail vmail /var/mail/vhosts/domain1/user2 drwx--S--- vmail vmail /var/mail/vhosts/domain2 drwx--S--- vmail vmail /var/mail/vhosts/domain2/user1
The drwx--S--- access rights are propagated into lower branches/leafs.
I am having a hard time understanding what to do, reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions, to make all the folders and subsequent files readable by the vmail group too. Based on this documentation, the way dovecot propagate permissions from parent folders is a bit cryptic to me. What needs to be done to achieve that?
The idea would be that even if I decided to allocated per-virtual-user a system user for stored files, all the files would still be stored and accessible with the same system group. I understand this would be done with the help of mail_access_groups = vmail, right?
FWIW, I am getting inspiration from the following explanations: https://www.christianroessler.net/tech/2015/spamassassin-dovecot-postfix.htm... If I understand correctly, the guy is bypassing the authentication completely with allow_all_users=yes, right? I do not want to do that anyway.
I hope what I am trying to achieve is clear enough and that I provided information enough. Would you help me?
