Postfix/Dovecot permissions for new mailboxes
Hello,
the wiki page describe that permission should copied from root mail directory https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions
The permissions for the root mail directory are set to 2770: drwxrws--- 36 root mail 4096 Apr 15 02:30 /var/spool/mail/
But newly created mailboxes get following permissions: drwx--S--- 5 newuser mail 4096 Apr 23 19:31 /var/spool/mail/newuser/
In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf follow options are set: mail_gid = mail mail_privileged_group = mail mail_access_groups = mail
I'm missing something to get right group permissions for new mailboxes?

What permissions were you expecting? Also, which version of dovecot are you running?
Aki
I would expect same permissions as for root mail directory 02770: drwxrws--- 5 newuser mail 4096 Apr 23 19:31 /var/spool/mail/newuser/

Do you have
mail_location=maildir:~/mail
or
mail_location = maildir:/path/to/whatever/%u
I tested with latest 2.2 that if I use /path/to, I get correct permissions.

I use mdbox not maildir:

I have to correct myself. I tested with sdbox now too, and it seems that using
mail_location=sdbox:~/Mail
produces the expected behaviour. mdbox uses same code as sdbox for this, so it should work fine.

With this settings I don't get the expectet result, still get wrong permissions on new mailboxes. Aki did you also try with %u ?

Well, that's not what I asked you to try...
try
