I have some questions about some parameters in dovecot.conf, I have them configured as this:
# User to use for the login process. The user must belong to a group where # only it has access, it's used to control access for authentication process # named sockets login_user=postfix
# User to use for the process. Only shadow and pam authentication requires # roots, so use something else if possible auth_user=postfix
It seems to me that all files created and used by Dovecot as long as they were created by the postfix user, they would be accesible. Right? My maildir shows as this:
drw------- 6 postfix postdrop 65 Jun 26 09:40 Maildir
so I guess postfix has full access to the maildir. Wouldn't setting login_user and auth_user to postfix let Dovecot access the Maildir? In the logs I get permission errors, if I chmod to 777 it works ok. This is what I get in the logs:
