I am using Maildir and virtual domains.
I have the following definitions in the dovecot.conf: mail_uid = 10000 mail_gid = 10000 mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/apps/%d/%n/Maildir ... .. I set the permissions of /var/mail/apps, /var/mail/apps/%d directories 1777. .. I also see the following error message when a message is received to one of the users: Jan 13 18:33:33 vds5 deliver(admin@domain.com): [ID 702911 mail.error] stat(/var/mail/apps/domain.com/admin/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied
The permissions of this tmp directory are: drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 2 Jan 13 18:31 tmp
Assuming vmail is 10000 it looks ok.
Why is deliver having problems writing to that? At this point, what uid is deliver running as?
- Since this has been such a common problem, I finally added some code to make it clearly log what uid/gid it's running as and what directory has the permission problem: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot/rev/93fe72ef59f6
