[Dovecot] expire plugin - setgid failed
Hello all,
I'm trying to get the expire plugin working, but still having issues even with 1.1RC5.
If I run the expire tool I get the following error: server:~# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool Fatal: setgid(100) failed with euid=2005, gid=0, egid=0: Operation not permitted
Same thing with --test: server:~# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Fatal: setgid(100) failed with euid=2005, gid=0, egid=0: Operation not permitted
gid 100 = users, uid 2005 = helmut
The user mail box has the following permissions:
root@LINKSTATION:/home/helmut# ll -n drwx------ 22 2005 100 4.0k May 17 13:14 mail
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Helmut

Yes, the setgid failure is gone! Thanks Timo!
Hi,
I'm still having problems to get the expire plugin working. Now I get the following error when running the expire-tool.
Error: stat(/root/mail/.Trash/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=2005 egid=100)
Somehow it tries to access root's mailbox with a standard user account. I'm already on v1.1rc8.

I guess it takes /root from $HOME environment? What happens if you
unset HOME before running expire-tool? Or do you really have a root
user in the expire database? (why/how?)
You are right. When I unset HOME before running expire-tool I don't get the error message. I'm not sure how to add a user to the expire database. All I configured is using passwd as userdb. I have include my configuration below:
