Is your qmailadmin binary owner root? If not, it can't setuid.

Tom,

But as you know when creating the postoffice for a user in their user
directory with -d /sites -u username that the permissions of that user are
bestowed upon the mailboxes themselves. So we end up with
/sites/domains/thedomainname.com/postmaster being owned by username:username
instead of vpopmail:vchkpw.


Is there anyway around this without giving the permissions over to
vpopmail:vchkpw? If there isn't then why does Vpopmail have the -u feature
in the first place as it would be a pretty useless feature? If Qmailadmin
won't setuid is there another administration utility around that will? To
keep support calls down to a minimum we really must have the mailboxes in
the users folder owned by the user.

Have you tried:


chown -R vpopmail.vchkpw /sites/domains

This should correct the permissions on the mail directory.
