That's what i thought too but for the life of me i cannot figure out what is causing it. I figured i must have missed something along the way. I'm on my 5th or so time installing everything (within a jail), so hopefully i get it right this time!

Wish me luck, and if anyone out there might have an idea of how to resolve this issue (it happens everytime i install everything) i would love to hear it!

Hi Everyone,

I've managed to get most of postfix and dovecot running using the
howto located on dovecot.org.

So, I went to go test sending a email locally and i am getting this
error which i cannot seem to resolve. Any help would be welcomed.

I usually find this type of message "Operation not permitted" to be a
permissions issue. Check that the user "deliver" running as has the
needed permissions to work in your directories "/var/vmail".
