[Dovecot] Re: maildir and /var/spool/mail
Greetings ...
Not sure what to do next. Have imap working in that I can see messages in inbox. When I create a folder it won't create one. Looking at maillog shows that I don't have rights to folder /var/spool/mail/.sent or whatever folder I am trying to create. I have procmailrc and dovecot.conf point to /home/Maildir but for some reason something is tied to /var/spool/mail. Of course I am running FC3 and sendmail. Someone have any ideas as to what to try next? I'm not sure of the rest of the history with this, but my FC3 installation has
[root@nasrec etc]# cat /etc/procmailrc PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ #VERBOSE=on #LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail
[root@nasrec etc]# ll /etc/procmailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109 May 2 2004 procmailrc
I do remember having to delete the old mail box of one of my installs,
where I had started using dovecot before putting in my procmailrc file ...
I stop dovecot, imap* and pop3* ... Removed all the wrong mailboxs both
in user folder and in /var/spool/mail ... Ran
mail -s Test user Type a message here < Press Control-D here >
Message gets delieverd in maildir format, start dovecot and all seemed
well.
I hope this helps.
