Greetings,
I thought it may be better to start a separate thread now that the cipher problem is solved.
Background: I have had to recreate from scratch, and without notice, a working server to a new VPS, with different versions of dovecot and other software. Now I am having problems with accessing the imap folders from home.
Now I have postfix/procmail successfully delivering email to the right IMAP folders. Problem is, postfix/procmail run as user mail_manager, group mail_management, and the permissions on those folders are currently all set to 755.
The consequence is that dovecot, running as user "dovecot", extra group mail_management, cannot modify those folders and their indexes.
What is the best/safest configuration in these cases?
run dovecot too as user "mail_manager"? (if yes, how, with dovecot 2.2.36?)
recursively change permissions of ALL the mail folders and files to 775?
both 1) and 2) ?
other (e.g. certain permissions for folders, others for specific files?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Marco
