[Dovecot] Dovecot-LDA problems (CVS version) Signal 11 and empty 'mail' dir

[Steffen Kaiser]

Hello,

I'm trying dovecot-lda (deliver.c has CVS version 1.18). When I try to 
deliver a mail, an empty directory is created name $HOME/mail.
This is neither the configured (via LDAP) nor the default "mail" setting 
in the /usr/local/etc/dovecot-deliver.conf.

When the $HOME directory does not exist, but the user itself:

Sep  1 11:47:12 localhost deliver: mbox: Can't create root IMAP folder 
/home/skaise2a/mail: Permission denied
Sep  1 11:47:13 localhost sm-mta[4684]: j819lCgd004682: SYSERR(root): 
mailer local died with signal 11

Default mail:
mail = 
maildir:%h/.mailboxes:INDEX=/usr/local/var/spool/dovecot/indexes/%Lu

Configured via LDAP for user skaise2a:
maildir:/mailcache/skaise2a:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/indexes/skaise2a:CONTROL=/var/cache/dovecot/control/skaise2a

I have only found the error message in dovecot's 
src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c function create_root_dir().

The Dovecot logs indicate that dovecot-lda is requesting the information 
from it and the message is - once the empty directory could be created - 
delivered into the configured IMAP root.

Bye,
