[Dovecot] Dovecot2 + Sieve

[Philipp Strobl]

Hi,

thank you for all of your quick response.

diff of the binaries brought nothing, because they are the same.
Both are symlinks to sendmail.postfix

ll /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 16  2010 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> 
/etc/alternatives/mta

ll /usr/lib/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Apr 16  2010 /usr/lib/sendmail -> 
/etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail

ll /etc/alternatives/mta*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta -> 
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-aliasesman 
-> /usr/share/man/man5/aliases.postfix.5.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-mailq -> 
/usr/bin/mailq.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-mailqman -> 
/usr/share/man/man1/mailq.postfix.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliases 
-> /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Apr 17  2010 
/etc/alternatives/mta-newaliasesman -> 
/usr/share/man/man1/newaliases.postfix.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-pam -> 
/etc/pam.d/smtp.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-rmail -> 
/usr/bin/rmail.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail -> 
/usr/lib/sendmail.postfix
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Apr 17  2010 /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmailman 
-> /usr/share/man/man1/sendmail.postfix.1.gz

The sendmail test-message (with parameter -vv) brings:
postdrop: fifo_trigger: open public/pickup: cannot open file: No such 
device or address

This error also appear by executing "postqueue -f".
but i can not see where

ll /var/spool/postfix/public/
total 20K

srw-rw-rw- 1 postfix postfix 0 Jan 28 18:49 flush

drwx------  2 postfix root     4.0K Aug 14  2008 trace

So root has not the ability to access the public-folder.
Is that normal for postfix-2.3.3 ?

Perhaps same users (dovecot, root ...) has to be in the postdrop group, 
but what is about the security with that issue ?


Kindly regards and many thanks
Philipp
