I know this is probably the wrong place for this question, but maybe someone can point out the “Hey Idiot, you missed something” part of the setup.
New Debian 8 install, distribution provided postfix and procmail. (This is a pre-upgrade, test box. Mail is just being forwarded from my regular postfix email server to this one for testing.) Email reception and delivery appear to work fine, no errors in the log file. Log file says: Aug 5 14:43:58 electron postfix/local[976]: 808D751D: to=<dkra...@electron2.admin.optivus.com>, relay=local, delay=0.07, delays=0.01/0/0/0.06, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: procmail) Aug 5 14:43:58 electron postfix/qmgr[964]: 808D751D: removed Procmail is SUID GUID, and delivers to the correct place. It’s running verbose, and reports no errors. ls -la /usr/bin/procmail -rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 89248 Feb 11 2015 /usr/bin/procmail Mail type is Maildir. procmail KNOWS who I am, it’s delivering in my home folder, in exactly the right place. It’s creating log files with my username in them. (This pretty much means that postfix is passing user info along for the ride) From dgiv...@optivus.com Fri Aug 5 14:43:53 2016 Subject: RE: New User Account Folder: /home/testing/towelie/dkrause/Maildir/new/1470433433.977_0.e 5563 procmail: [978] Fri Aug 5 14:43:58 2016 procmail: Assigning "PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin" procmail: Assigning "SHELL=/bin/sh" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/home/testing/towelie/dkrause/.procmailrc" procmail: Couldn't read "/home/testing/towelie/dkrause/.procmailrc" procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/home/testing/towelie/dkrause/Maildir/new/1470433433.977_0.electron" procmail: Notified comsat: "dkrause@0:/home/testing/towelie/dkrause/Maildir/new/147033433.977_0.electron" But, no matter what I do, mail files are owned by root:mail # ls -la total 248 drwx------ 2 dkrause gensw 4096 Aug 5 15:03 . drwxr-xr-x 97 dkrause gensw 4096 Aug 5 11:59 .. -rw------- 1 root mail 12434 Aug 5 14:28 1470432530.5969_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 5504 Aug 5 14:38 1470433109.6006_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 5563 Aug 5 14:43 1470433433.977_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 15034 Aug 5 14:43 1470433438.978_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 7334 Aug 5 14:44 1470433457.979_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 23582 Aug 5 14:46 1470433606.1005_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 9368 Aug 5 14:48 1470433739.1011_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 7557 Aug 5 14:50 1470433815.1012_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 33175 Aug 5 14:52 1470433947.1018_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 42598 Aug 5 14:56 1470434201.1024_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 48232 Aug 5 14:58 1470434292.1026_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 5133 Aug 5 15:03 1470434628.1041_0.electron -rw------- 1 root mail 3798 Aug 5 15:03 1470434628.1043_0.electron pwd /home/testing/towelie/dkrause/Maildir/new procmail is postfix’s mailbox_command, these options all produce the exact same results. #mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -d "$USER" -a "$EXTENSION" #mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_command = procmail I’m hoping I’m just too blind to see the error today, and someone out there has a quick fix.
