Hi,
I've set up a Postfix and Dovecot (only IMAP) combination using MySQL and Postfixadmin on Fedora. Almost everything works correctly now. The only thing bugging me right now is that I always have to change the access privileges of the directories in /var/run/dovecot/ manually to 777 to make it work. As you understand, I'm not particularly happy about this as it doesn't feel secure at all. And I also have to do this every time I reboot since Dovecot resets the old access priviliges (600).
As you see I've got a vmail user who belongs to the mail group. Almost all directories under /var/run/dovecot belong to user root and group root. They all have the permissions rw--------.
Is this a Fedora Dovecot RPM, or did you use source? Do you have selinux/apparmor enabled? Do you like shellfish?
