What do you think would be more appropriated? It's a rather miserable affair. The Default configuration does not cover the delivery via lmtp. I think they fixed the permissions in 10.2, though I haven't checked it lately. Adding postfix to the mail group was a sufficient solution for me. You could simply tell Cyrus to put the socket in a directory where the user postfix already has access to. Though I am not sure if this will break when you update. It shouldn't break. Another question is if you have other applications that need to access the socket? -- Sandy List replies only please!
