I have my postfix/dovecot virtual mail system essentially (otherwise) configured where Postfix is calling Dovecot for its virtual transport: virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
But I can't for the life of me see how to change the file permissions dovecot uses to create maildir folders and files. I looked at the maildir [1], lmtp [2], and other documents and they are either silent on permissions or seem to reference a shared mail permissions document [3] that claims file and folder permissions are inherited. I want all files dovecot creates to be made accessible to the mail group. Please tell me this wasn't hard-coded a la postfix.
Thanks,
