[Dovecot] Default mbox file ownership and permissions with static userdb
Hi there!
I'm using Dovecot 1.1.7 in a simple setup with a static userdb:
userdb: driver: static args: uid=50018 gid=50019 home=/home/dovemail
When my users create folders via IMAP, the ownership of the mbox file is user dovemail, group dovemail, and permissions are 600. I'd like this to change to user dovemail, group doveusers, permissions 660, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
-- Cheers, Christian

Instead of numbers you can here also use uid=dovemail gid=doveusers

You'll get doveusers group by changing the gid to doveusers. To get
660 permissions you can set umask=07 in dovecot.conf. The umask
changing is kind of a kludge and not really recommended, but currently
there's no better way. It may also change other files (but not all) to
use 660 permissions.

Thank you! That did it.
