[Dovecot] Permission denied: failed to chdir to /home/paul
Hi,
I've been trying to set up Exin and Dovecot and think I've almost gotten there. However I'm not recieving mail to my inbox and I get messages like the following in /var/log/exim/main.log:
2005-09-28 04:14:47 1EKZtf-0003gQ-26 <= users-return-105525-paul= paulororke.net@openoffice.org H=s002.sfo.collab.net<http://s002.sfo.collab.net>( openoffice.org <http://openoffice.org>) [64.125.133.202<http://64.125.133.202>] P=smtp S=3120 id=200509280613.08050.dlewis@delewis.com 2005-09-28 04:14:47 1EKZtf-0003gQ-26 == paul@paulororke.net R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: failed to chdir to /home/paul
How do I make it so that this doesn't happen?
Well, as this is obviously a mail delivery question you should perhaps ask on the exim lists. I suppose the user under which the exim delivery agent is running has no permission to access ypur home dirs. I am not familiar with exim so I cannot give ypu further advice, but this problem is definitely not dovecot-related.

Thanks - I'll go to the Exim list.

You have a problem with exim there, not with dovecot.
How do I make it so that this doesn't happen?
Start by sharing with us your local_delivery transport and localuser router from exim.conf
