I recently upgraded to the new imap package (thanks for maintaining it Jaldhar!) and noticed a significant change in lockfile management.
The imap daemon runs as the user/group of the person executing the daemon instead of the group "mail". This causes a problem since I currently have the spool directory ownership/permissions set to: drwxrwsr-t root mail /var/spool/mail My MUA (i.e. pine) warns that the mailbox is vulnerable since a lockfile is not created. What's strange is if I allow global writes, no lockfile actually written but the MUA is happy. What should be the ownership/permission of /var/spool/mail? Or should /usr/sbin/imapd be sgid mail?
