I have a problem with a physical user that was removed and recreated whith same name and different uid. The home dir, the mailbox file and the index directory where removed and recreated with the new uid/gid.

I can feed the mailbox via procmail, though dovecot-lda complains that userids do not match:

May 02 15:27:33 lda(alessandro_cmr): Error: stat(/var/spool/mailboxes/alessandro_cmr/INBOX) failed: Permission denied (euid=3525(alessandro_cmr) egid=111(poppers) missing +x perm: /var/spool/mailboxes/alessandro_cmr, dir owned by 1000:111 mode=0700)

doveadm auth cache flush says 28 entries flushed but the situation does'nt change.

here's my doveconf -n:

# 2.2.29.1 (e0b76e3): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.17 (e179378) # OS: Linux 3.0.101-105-pae i686 openSUSE 11.4 (i586) ext3 auth_cache_size = 3 k auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes default_client_limit = 1249 default_vsz_limit = 712 M disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 0 first_valid_uid = 100 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/logfile.info listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot/logfile login_greeting = Dovecot at Baobab ready. login_trusted_networks = 127.0.0.0/8 212.45.144.0/24 192.168.134.0/24 mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mailboxes/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:DIRNAME=mbox:INDEX=/var/dovecot_indexes/%u maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext mbox_lock_timeout = 443 secs namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { address = * } process_limit = 512 } service pop3-login { chroot = executable = pop3-login -D inet_listener pop3s { address = * } process_limit = 512 } ssl_ca =
