Hi,
My server uses a system comprised of postfix, dovecot and dspam to filter and deliver mail.
Postfix used the following flags in calling spamc and dovecot:
flags=DRhu user=dovecot:secmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}
after an upgrade from Debian lenny to squeeze we were able to get everything working except spam filtering. Spamassassin is able to judge whether the mail coming in is spam but everything stops there.
In mail.err I see:
pamc[3608]: exec failed: Permission denied
spamc shows the same thing in syslog:
exec failed: Permission denied
postfix delays the email:
postfix/pipe[3607]: 50DEFF180EE: to=<[mail]>, relay=dovecot, delay=1.7, delays=0.07/0.01/0/1.6, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (system resource problem)
Here are the permissions for deliver:
-rwsr-x--- 1 root dovecot 865084 May 25 2011 /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
Here are the relevant groups:
s1:~# grep dovecot /etc/group secmail:x:119:postfix,spamd,dovecot dovecot:x:111:
here's the dovecot user: s1:~# grep dovecot /etc/passwd dovecot:x:108:111:Dovecot mail server,,,:/usr/lib/dovecot:/bin/false
here's dovecot -n:
