[Dovecot] Permission denied
Hello all,
I'm a new user of dovecot and I've got a permission denied problem. I've read the VarMailDotLock wiki paper but there is still a security problem. If I enter : chmod a+rwxt /var/spool/mail it works but I think it's very dangerous to have thaht rights. So I've tried to edit the dovecot.conf file and to change the mail_extra_groups = mail and to change the rights : chmod +t /var/spool/mail but it doesn't work !
The mails are in /var/spool/mail/unix_user_name
Could you please help me to configure the /var/spool/mail to have a good security and to allow people to receive their mails ?
Thanks

It should then have permissions:
drwxrwxr-t 2 root mail 32 2004-06-16 04:45 /var/mail/
Do you have those? If yes, what operating system are you using?
