Strange error on multiple recipent email - permission denied

[Salatiel Filho]

Hi, I am doing some tests with dovecot to replace cyrusimapd, but
after the most simple configuration  I am getting some strange errors
on log.



This is the output of dovecot -n:
#davecot -n
disable_plaintext_auth = no ( just for testing )
first_valid_uid = 1000
mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mail/%n
mail_privileged_group = mail
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location =
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix =
}
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
protocols = imap lmtp
ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_cipher_list = PROFILE=SYSTEM
ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}



I have  also chmod a+rwxt on /var/spool/mail and set.

Now here is the strange behavior.

I have 2 users created, user1 and user2.
At first , there are no files on /var/spool/mail as expected.


Now  I send one email to user1 at mydomain and I can receive just fine
and there are no errors on logs.

Now I send one email to user2 at mydomain and I can receive just fine and
there are no errors on logs.

The problem starts if I send one email to user1 AND user2 ( user2 can
be in TO or CC )

Although I can receive the email, there's an ERROR log in maillog. It
appears user1 wants to open the user2 index file.
Any ideas why ?

Thank you very much!
