Hi, I have converted my Imap Server from Courier to Dovecot in order to use sieve support. Everything works fine with the exception that the sender always gets the vacation msg since there is a permission error on writing of dovecot.lda-dupes. I've tried several version of permissions including 777 to both home and maildir - always the same result. I also googled for hours .. Any help will be appreciated. Paul

This is the debug log:

Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): Home dir not found: Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): maildir: data=/Daten/Vmail/pp/Maildir Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): maildir++: root=/Daten/Vmail/pp/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/Daten/Vmail/pp/Maildir Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): sieve: using sieve path for user's script: /Daten/Vmail/pp/.dovecot.sieve Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): sieve: opening script /Daten/Vmail/pp/.dovecot.sieve Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): sieve: executing compiled script /Daten/Vmail/pp/.dovecot.sieve Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): Namespace : Using permissions from /Daten/Vmail/pp/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 Aug 13 14:51:26 Srv dovecot: deliver(pp): file_dotlock_create(/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: Permission denied

This ist my dovecot.conf:

protocols = imap imaps managesieve

mail_debug = yes

log_path = info_log_path =

disable_plaintext_auth = no

# Authentication configuration: mail_location = maildir:/Daten/Vmail/%u/Maildir

auth_verbose = yes mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no nfs_check = no lock_method = dotlock mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail

auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb pam { } userdb passwd { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/%u mail=maildir:/Daten/Vmail/%u/Maildir } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail } } }

protocol lda { postmaster_address = admin@ppridt.dnsalias.org mail_plugins = sieve auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master }

protocol managesieve { login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve managesieve_implementation_string = Cyrus timsieved v2.2.13 }

plugin { sieve=/Daten/Vmail/%u/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir=/Daten/Vmail/%u/.sieve
}

This is the exim delivery transport:

dovecot_lda: driver = pipe command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver message_prefix = message_suffix = log_output delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add user = vmail group = vmail temp_errors = 64 : 69 : 70: 71 : 72 : 73 : 74 : 75 : 78
