What does this "..." contain? :) Like prefix, separator?
My complete conf is attached at the original mail.
a) IMAP insists to connect to $install_prefix/var/run/dovecot/auth-master
instead of /var/run/dovecot/auth-master used by deliver.
It connects to base_dir/var/run/dovecot/ where base_dir is the setting
in dovecot.conf.
It's install_prefix. The log says:
IMAP(user) [10363]: Error: userdb lookup:
connect(/usr/local/dovecot-1.2.rc5unpatched/var/run/dovecot/auth-master)
failed: Permission denied
But the conf has:
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
Also, auth default | socket | master contains the setting:
path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
Deliver works with this conf without the symlink.
I would have used a different group than "mail", since it's often used
by the system for other things too.
Hmm, I'll investigate where the group "mail" comes from.
There had been a suggestion of a special user-shared namespace a while
back. How about to add the base location in the shared-mailboxes.db? So
instead of "1" the value is the base of the shared location, e.g.
maildir:/local/testuser or maildir:/home/user/Maildir..., and some %%?
token takes the string from there. Because the path is known from the db
now, the other problems mentioned above do no longer apply.
And when the path is changed in userdb, it points to a wrong location.
Well,
a) as there is no way to return/use the mail_location of the sharing user,
the location is possibly wrong anyway, because mail_location is not
neccessarily derived from the user's home in the same way always.
b) I considered mail_location stable after setup. But you are right, that
this is not neccessaily so. One would need some sort of book keeping to
keep the redundant data in shared-mailboxes.db in sync.
