Hello:
Since I posted this original messages, I have installed, re-installed Postfix-2.3.3, Dovecot-1.1.1 & Dovecot-Sieve-1.1.5 over and over & still got the "Permission Denied" error (see "/var/log/maillog" logs below).
Here what I found! If I add the following in "/etc/postfix/main.cf";
Mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
Then the "Permission Denied" error appears and all mail is bounced back with error message.
If I remove this line, all emails are delivered fine. No error.
This problem started when I switched dovecot from Ver# 1.0.7 to 1.1.1
So my question is:
(1) has something changed in Dovecot V# 1.1.1 to cause this error? (2) what if I leave this line out? Would it cause problem with either Dovecot or Dovecot-Sieve? (3) Any other solution.
FYI, I have already included Postfix, Dovecot & Dovecot-Sieve configuration in my previous post.
HELP. I have spent 20 days on this problem.
