a) Upgrade to v1.0.11 and use the new mail_privileged_group setting instead of mail_extra_groups.
We tried this but now the mail.log has a number of lines : « dovecot: IMAP(someuser): open(/var/mail/.temp.XXXX) failed: Permission denied »
Oh, this is actually harmless. You can get rid of it (and improve the performance) by setting dotlock_use_excl=yes.
But maybe I should release v1.0.12 anyway with that error message silenced..
You mean seeing that error message only is actually not an error, because the next locking method just works?
Right. Also fixed it now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.0/rev/a9ac53bc191b
In that case, great -- I'll go change dotlock_use_excl, revert the scary option (b) of chmod world-writable, and see how it works out. Not using NFS anyway.
dotlock_use_excl=yes works also in all modern NFS systems. I doubt anyone is still using NFSv2. This setting is now default in v1.1.
