Hi,
I'm running Dovecot 2.1.12 on FreeBSD (quite successfully so, thanks for
this nice piece of software!). One thing which is slightly annoying
though is that automatically created mailboxes (I have
lda_mailbox_autocreate set) don't have the file permissions I'd like
them to have.
I'm using a vmail-based system, i.e. all mail is owned by vmail:vmail;
another member of the vmail group is called 'backup', which has read
access to all mail in order to create backups. All mail is stored
beneath /home/vmail, e.g. /home/vmail/frerich/Maildir
Right now, newly created mailbox directories (e.g. /home/vmail/bob) have
0700 permissions, but I'd like to have 0750 for all directories and 0640
for all files so that all files and directories are group-readable for
backup purposes.
Does anybody know whether this is configurable somehow?
Right now, my workaround consists running this cron script every night:
#!/bin/sh
chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail/
find /home/vmail/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750
find /home/vmail/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0640
