Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1.0.rc15-2etch4
Severity: important
I began receiving the following log messages for numerous users after upgrading
to the
most recent stable version of dovecot and changing the configuration files to
use
mail_priviliged_group instead of mail_extra_groups.
Mar 18 20:31:13 porter dovecot: POP3(logang): open(/var/mail/logang, O_CREAT)
failed: Permission denied
Mar 18 20:51:46 porter dovecot: IMAP(logang): open(/var/mail/logang, O_CREAT)
failed: Permission denied
The errors seem to correspond to connections by a mail client, however they do
not occur for every
connection and I get this error for some users much more than others.
The permissions I have set for the /var/mail directory and inbox files are:
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 2008-03-19 11:11 /var/mail
-rw-r----- 1 logang mail 39860176 2008-03-18 22:31 /var/mail/logang
Also, note that these files are stored on an NFS mount and fcntl locking with
lockd is used. I briefly
tried dotlock, but still got the error messages.
If I add the mail group to the mail_access_groups the problem appears to go
away. (I'm aware that due to
the security concerns this is not an acceptable permanent fix.)
Besides these errors, email clients still work fine, and I have not received
any complaints from users
regarding any unusual behaviour with their mail.
