I have dovecot version 2.0.9
I am confused about this article
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm
my mail_location =
mbox:~/mymail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
So my inbox is at var/mail/ and my
imap folder is /home/user/mymail
The problem is /var/mail (Owner is
useraccount and the group us mail) , and here comes the problem
Dovecot
keeps trying to chown the imap folder inside the homedirectory with
user:mail account and since
And this is the reason of error that appears
in my log file.
The option mail_access_groups=mail solve the problem..
but I read it is not secure..
With my current configutation, users login
with imap to read mail , can they use
any the mail_access_groups=mail
and read other poeple mail ? does my configutation
is a shard mailbox
and could be unsecure..
my main quesion , for my current configuration
, can i use mail_access_groups=mail safely or can
some user use this to
read other people mail ? attached my configuration.
why didnot have
this issue with uw-imapd? and why dovecot try to chown the .imap
folder
with the mail group ?
dovecot -n output is
