Configure your MTA to run dovecot-lda as vmail instead of as mail.
Hi Timo Sirainen,
It’s working with me fine. With no problem.
After I configured my MTA (sendmail) to run dovecot-lda as root with chmod 4750 /local/user/libexce/dovecot/dovecot-lda. And create group called secmail.
I had to change dovecot-lda group to secmail. And then added mail to secmail group.
It works with me.
Before when I changed dovecot-lda group direct to mail doesn’t work. But it should to work.!!!
I think that was the error. Later after creating separate group and adding mail to it, it’s working fine.. Any idea here… why doesn’t work if I changed dovecot-lda direct to mail group instead of creating new group and adding mail to it???.
