Hi,
I want to deliver mail that comes in addressed to user jill into a Maildir folder in freds Maildir structure but have not set the permissions correctly. I wonder what the most appropriate permissions should be (to keep freds privacy):- The setup is address_directory transport, with maildir_format set true and an entry in /etc/aliases of: #/etc/aliases jill: /home/fred/Maildir/.afolder/ My question is, I am getting Permission Denied, the directory permissions are: drwx------ 22 fred users 1024 Apr 5 10:06 /home/fred/Maildir/ Should the group be changed from users to vmail (which I can create) and then do chmod g+w to /home/fred/Maildir ? For the settings given below, am I correct in thinking that jill's mail is written to freds directory under the vmail users permissions ? Should I change the group in system_aliases heading (see below) to be a vmail group (at the same time as the above changes) ? address_directory: driver = appendfile delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add no_from_hack prefix = "" suffix = "" maildir_format system_aliases: driver = aliasfile file = /etc/aliases search_type = lsearch* user = vmail group = users -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
