Err, my bad, of course 0640 on files in case of setgid on directories.

The main reason is that I don't want to provide backup user with unnecessary write permissions within maildirs and mail user within backup logs dir. I was talking about mail_user:mail_group 0750 on dirs and 0640 on files. (Or, possibly, mail_user:backup_group 2750 and 2640.)

 Whats the reason you do not want to use default dovecot user. Your idea would assume that at least the group must have write access. For me a no-go on mailboxes.

 Hello.

 In my configuration dovecot reads home from mysql and uses no variables within it. It uses Maildir++ storage with virtual users. I also happen to use LMTP.

 I want to use a backup solution that does not involve running itself as root. Neither do I want to run it as dovecot's mail user.

 And there lies the problem: dovecot creates maildirs with 0700 and files within them inherit that set of permissions. And there seems to be no sane way to control it. I think I've figured out what to patch in order to change that default, but if possible, I'd like to avoid doing that.

 tl;dr: is it possible to change the default set of permissions for new maildirs created by dovecot? - -- Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android-Mobiltelefon mit K-9 Mail gesendet. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1
