I’m am still getting the errors I mentioned previously. Maybe half a dozen of them per day . . .
So, the location of my mail storage (/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/%d/%n/) is a filesystem mounted by gocryptfs. Do you think gocryptfs could be at fault here?

Before and after mounting: What are the mount folder's user/group permissions? Who owns the mount folder (user/group)?
The owner is austin and group is austin before and after mounting the folder. I would need to verify that the owner is still the same before the folder is mounted sometime while my server is offline.
If you do a "stat /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log <http://domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log>" as the user dovecot is running as (from your mail I see austin owns that file - is dovecot run as user austin?) - do you also get an error?
I would think that dovecot is running as user austin, but I’m not sure how to verify that?
If you do get an error - could you create a small encrypted fs and mount it to another folder, create a file there and check again for "stat file"? Play with the permissions and user/group assignments. Still getting an error?

So here is one of the last log lines from my mail.err file.
Aug 30 23:09:11 mail dovecot: lmtp(user@domain.com)<179137><WgoPM5eYDmPBuwIAZU03Dg>: Error: open(/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 30 23:09:11 mail dovecot: lmtp(user@domain.com)<179137><WgoPM5eYDmPBuwIAZU03Dg>: Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=179136,uid=112 [1]: rcpt user@domain.com: Mailbox INBOX: file_dotlock_create(/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 30 23:09:11 mail dovecot: lmtp(user@domain.com)<179137><WgoPM5eYDmPBuwIAZU03Dg>: Error: sieve: msgid=<d37ab115ceaf45b3b3ff87b90b4fb3ca@Exchange.ssmail.org>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Mailbox INBOX: file_dotlock_create(/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 30 23:09:11 mail dovecot: lmtp(user@domain.com)<179137><WgoPM5eYDmPBuwIAZU03Dg>: Error: sieve: Execution of script /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve was aborted due to temporary failure
Here is the stat command one of the files that dovecot seem to not be able to access.
austin@mail:/mnt/volume1/mailserver$ stat /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot-uidlist File: /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot-uidlist Size: 60565 Blocks: 120 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 2bh/43d Inode: 146325 Links: 1 Access: (0660/-rw-rw----) Uid: ( 1000/ austin) Gid: ( 1000/ austin) Access: 2022-08-30 23:19:24.701469295 +0000 Modify: 2022-08-30 23:16:34.155318207 +0000 Change: 2022-08-30 23:16:34.163318308 +0000 Birth: -
Is the problem that the x perm is missing from both the user and group for this file? I have tried different times to recursively apply wrx permissions to all the folders and files but it seems like dovecot must create files that it later cannot access. Or maybe I am not understanding this correctly?
Why am I getting these errors only about 1% of the time and the rest of the time it works fine? This seems to be randomly happening to various users on my server.
Thanks again to all of you for your help!
