Hi,

I'ld try to set up the managesieve (for RoundCube) - the sieve is
works as well with dovecot (I mean my filters works perfectly).

When I would try to connect to managesieve, I got an error, and
mail.err contains:

dovecot: managesieve(airween@mydomain.hu): Error: user airween@madomain.hu: Couldn't drop privileges: getgrnam(vmail) failed: Permission denied (in mail_privileged_group setting)

Also I got it when I try to connect to port 4190 at localhost
(with telnet), and send the generated AUTH string (with
sieve-auth-command.pl).


Could anybody helps me to explain this message?


Thanks,


a.

Hi Ervin

it can often help if you give versions of the dovecot and pigeonhole as well as posting the config (dovecot -n) since people may be able to spot configuration errors.

It may be an obvious thing, but do you have a vmail group in /etc/group?
