The errors says all. Almost ...

If I understand you correctly, I can chose one of the three options you presented to me, right? If so, 3) I did until now. 2) no way. To 1): I now set mail_privileged_group = mail

drwxrwx--x  94 root  mail  3072 Dec 18 01:43 /var/mail

But I still get the same error. The LMTP and the IMAP process do still get executed under group %u, when they try to create the mailbox. What's wrong?

Thank you for your help!

Best regards, Adrian.

1. See:

Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently this is

# used only with INBOX when either its initial creation or dotlocking fails. # Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail. #mail_privileged_group =

# Grant access to these supplementary groups for mail processes. Typically # these are used to set up access to shared mailboxes. Note that it may be # dangerous to set these if users can create symlinks (e.g. if "mail" group is # set here, ln -s /var/mail ~/mail/var could allow a user to delete others' # mailboxes, or ln -s /secret/shared/box ~/mail/mybox would allow reading it). #mail_access_groups =

2. chmod 1777 /var/mail

3. pre-create your user dirs
