Hello all. Have spent several days following the excellent tutorial:
http://www.binarytides.com/install-postfix-dovecot-debian/
but still fail to have the user recognized and am getting log entries that the mail directories are 0755 when I can clearly see that they are 0774.
Very puzzling, any help would be deeply appreciated.
Best regards, Andy =========== Details =========== ??? I can add directories under IMAP, so my IMAP login and permissions must be correct.
??? I can create an outgoing message under IMAP, but clicking SEND just hangs. Logs do not indicate problem.
??? I clearly can send it a message with smtp. The message is delivered to postfix, but then dovecot fails to deliver it to a mailbox.

This could be a problem.

I'm guessing vmail can't +w somewhere along the path of /var/mail/vhosts/etc...
========================= System is openSUSE Leap 42.1 (64). postfix and dovecot with SASL authentication, connecting through a Unix socket:
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/lmtp
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.cf:> > > > > > > > servic e lmtp {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp { > > mode = 0600 > > > > user = postfix > > > > group = postfix
} The lmtp socket is owned by postfix, while the mail system is owned by vmail, per the tutorial.
I am using virtual users (not system users) defined in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-users: alavarre@privustech.com:{plain}ksaj;flkasjd;ds;f
Thanks in advance, Andy
doveconf -n would be helpful
