Hi All
I have postfix deliver the mail in virtual maildirs using the UID of user dovecot. I authenticate users trying to access their mailboxes via IMAP through winbind. The authentication is successfull but dovecot logs imap(username): Date "Error: openidir (vmail/domain/username) failed: Permission denied.
I tried to insert in dovecot.conf: static uid=97 gid=97 home=/vmail/domain but I get a report that parameters are missing. Does anybody know the the exact syntax for the static directive?
0.99.x or 1.0beta? They have different syntax.
0.99.x:
userdb = static uid=97 gid=97 home=/vmail/%d/%n
1.0beta:
userdb static { args = uid=97 gid=97 home=/vmail/%d/%n }
"Permission denied" error anyway sounds like the UID 97 doesn't have access there, or alternatively that you're using SELinux which prevents accessing that directory.
