for each virtual user, eg, arvind postfix creates a directory inside /var/spool/mail
so finally all my mails come inside /var/spool/mail/arvind/Maildir/ ( and its 3 sub-directories) Now, earlier, the subdirectory arvind used to be created with uid: 1000 gid: 1000 this was what the values from virtual_uid_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/ids.cf virtual_gid_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/idg.cf yielded. now fortunately or unfortunately /var/spool/mail is owned by postfix.postdrop so postfix while delivering mail for arvind had to write with uid:1000 and gid:1000 This did not work out as it kept saying, permission denied. And i had to create a sub-directory called arvind inside /var/spool/mail/ with uid=gid=1000 and then my Maildir/ was getting created and mail delivered. so, i changed the gid of all virtual users to postdrop. since /var/spool/mail is owned by postdrop, postfix created /var/spool/mail/arvind without any hassles. uid=1000 and gid = postdrop. will this create any security issue is gid = postdrop?
