Hi all,

Having problems moving from postfix/dovecot/mysq/maildrop existing intall to dovecot LDA

dovecot -n

stuff chomped out

deliver(vaina@neenux.com): 2007-11-02 12:32:40 Info: auth input:
gid=5000 deliver(vaina@neenux.com): 2007-11-02 12:32:40 Fatal: setuid(5000) failed: Operation not permitted

I'm using vmail:vmail (5000:5000) for all my virtual users and postfix

(snipped some more out)

Hello Roger,

Try this:

cd to the path where the dovecot deliver app is. Then,

sudo chmod u+s deliver

You may or may not need to do sudo chmod g+s deliver -- probably not.

This is in the Sendmail - LDA part of the docs. Recent changes to
Dovecot seem to have brought this to Postfix - LDA as well.
