You have to make it world-writable also. I'll update the wiki to
mention that too.That may present a problem, Timo, as postfix's "local" LDA wants
exclusivity on the files in /var/mail.May 16 08:34:11 G518X2 postfix/local[26583]: 7E613630295:
to=<me@example.com>, orig_to=<me@example.com>, relay=local,
delay=581, status=deferred (cannot access mailbox /var/mail/bb for
user bb. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily
unavailable)I realize that the intent here is to have Dovecot's LDA replace
Postfix's but it would seem logical if their behaviors (and
expectations regarding directories) were in sync.
Never mind. The contention (above) was due to an earlier failed
attempt. I have made /var/mail world writable and sticky and now all
is well.
Thank you, Timo.
