Sorry, there's another issue with this configuration, not in the part I quoted. Please ignore this thread. If there are further questions, I'll ask again.

Dear All,

I'm using version 2.1.7 which currently ships with debian stable.

I'd like to use

userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users

default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail override_fields =

skip = never

result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok }

from [1].

The error message is:

Jan 25 14:02:03 post1 dovecot: lda(chris): Error: user chris: Initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/home/vmail/chris/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=1000(chris) egid=1000(chris) missing +x perm: /home/vmail/chris, dir owned by 1001:1001 mode=0700)

The skip and result_* commands aren't supported.

My users file: chris:{MD5-CRYPT}$1$3uC3URg......:::/home/vmail/chris/:/bin/false::

Dovecot should access the Maildir with vmail:vmail (1001:1001) and not chris:chris (1000:1000)!

Thank you in advance!
