Hello,
Thank you that was usefull. But I still can't get it working ....
It seems Dovecot's LDA is not using uid and guid from my userdb file to deliver to user inbox (located in /var/mail)
I get:
dovecot: deliver(virtuser_537): file_dotlock_create(/var/mail/virtuser_537) failed: Permission denied (euid=537(virtuser_537) egid=518(neaevents) missing +w perm: /var/mail) (set mail_privileged_group=mail)
What's the group ownership of /var/mail/virtuser_537 ? Can we see (at least partial) output of "ls -la /var/mail" and "ls -la /var/mail/virtuser_537"? That may be helpful.
