dovecot - Jul 2004 - Permission denied

Hello all,

I'm a new user of dovecot and I've got a permission denied problem.
I've read the VarMailDotLock wiki paper but there is still a security
problem.
If I enter :
chmod a+rwxt /var/spool/mail it works but I think it's very dangerous to
have
thaht rights.
So I've tried to edit the dovecot.conf file and to change the 
mail_extra_groups = mail and to change the rights : chmod +t /var/spool/mail 
but it doesn't work !

The mails are in /var/spool/mail/unix_user_name

Could you please help me to configure the /var/spool/mail to have a good 
security and to allow people to receive their mails ?

Thanks

	Frederic

It should then have permissions:

drwxrwxr-t    2 root     mail           32 2004-06-16 04:45 /var/mail/

Do you have those? If yes, what operating system are you using?
