Jun 8 23:14:09 dakota pop3(dakota): open(/var/spool/mail/dakota.lock) failed: P ermission denied [ ... ] i have probed all options ... dovecot no create the lock, the user dovecot works, but no the program
As you can see from the log line, the pop3 process runs under the
dakota' identity, not thedovecot' identity. The user dakota cannot create a lock file.What are the permissions of the /var/spool/mail directory?
