My Exim setup delivers mail to virtual users. Consider the fictional account [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A maildir format mailstore is created under /usr/local/vdomains/mydomain.co.uk/users/bob I created a new unix group (groupname: bob_mydomain_co_uk) for the sole use of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and chgrp -R the bob directory to use it. I also chmod g+s bob. This means that any user assigned to the group bob_mydomain_co_uk can create files in this directory and that these files are created with the bob_mydomain_co_uk group name. -rw-r--r-- 1 Debian-exim bob_mydomain_co_uk 0 Jul 3 00:18 test.txt Exim runs as user 'Debian-exim'. I've added Debian-exim to the bob_mydomain_co_uk group. If I ssh to the server as user Debian-exim and create a file in the bob directory, it's created with owner 'Debian-exim' and group 'bob_mydomain_co_uk' as expected. Mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets written by Exim to the bob maildir, but with owner 'Debian-exim' and frustratingly with group 'Debian-exim'. I think this is due to the default exim_user and exim_group setting buried somewhere in exim. I need all the files(emails) to be created with the unique group bob_mydomain_co_uk so that I can apply group based quota thresholds. Is it possible to have Exim write to the maildir without it specifying the group?
