For people using mostly remote MUAs, it might be interesting to use Dovecot's LDA. I read on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA that this is possible using .forward files, however this fails on our system with : file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/user: Permission denied (/var/mail is 2775 for root:mail as recently discussed).
Is there a possible fix ? I also read that deliver is not designed to be run setuid root, I guess this also applies to being run setgid mail...
You could set it setgid mail, but that probably allows your users to write to any files/dirs writable by mail group with some symlinks. How about just setting /var/mail 01777?
