I tried changing the mode of /home to 777 and send another mail, but something weird happened. First, the script created a home directory and a Maildir(with cur, new, etc.) of the mail recipient inside /home. Then it will create an ascii file in /var/vmail that contains the actual mail. The ascii file containing the mail is sort of like the mbox format and named after the recipient's name. For example, after sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it created a /home/bani and /home/bani/Maildir directories... and an ascii file /var/vmail/bani which resembles the mbox format. Any idea why this is happening? Does it have something to do with both homeDirectory: /home/bani and mailMessageStore: /var/vmail (Note: bani doesn't have an actual unix account and a home directory, I just added the homeDirectory in ldap because posixAccount requires it) Thanks..
