I'm new to dovecot and wanted to build my own mailserver using
dovecot+postfix.
I currently have a Problem with Permissions with my mailfolder.
I could solve it easily if i set it with chmod to 777. but thats no real
solution.
While reading my log files i see a lot messages like:
Oct 10 05:19:52 lda(owncloud): Error: user owncloud: Initialization failed:
Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed:
stat(/home/vmail/example.com/owncloud/mail) failed: Permission denied
(euid=100(owncloud) egid=1004(owncloud) missing +x perm: /home/vmail, dir
owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700)
Oct 10 05:19:52 lda(owncloud): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to
server log for more information.
So Currently two Users need to acces the mail-folder:
1. The user itself (here: owncloud)
2. The vmail user
I want to use dovecot with virtual users. Now the question is: shouldn't
the directory be accessed only by the vmail user? and not by the owncloud
user?
postfix starts the LDA as owncloud user, looks like you set postfix up to
use system users. Either make it use the vmail user or use LMTP.
userdb {
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/example.com/%n
driver = static
}
Via IMAP/POP3 and LMTP all users will use these settings.
