Hi, I'm trying to set up dovecot 1.1.2 and postfix 2.5.4 on freebsd 7.0. I'm getting permissions problems on auth-master and I'm not sure of the correct settings to use.
In postfix's main.cf I have mailbox_command=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $USER
In dovecot.conf I have: socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = dovecot group = postfix } leave the master as it was and add a client for postfix: client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix }
I'm confused. So deliver doesn't need access to the master socket? Because it uses the master (not the client) in the default setup ...
Also how does this differ in terms of permissions from my current setup? In both cases you would have group postfix rw perms on the socket. And looking at the docs, I'm doubly confused! It says mailbox_command runs with the userid of the recipient. So how is it supposed to access this socket in any case? I take it I don't want to give 666 perms to the socket ...
Sorry for my ignorance ...
