search for: mail_gid

I am adjusting the recommended ldap configuration to match active directory instead of the standard posixaccount layout. The problem is that doveadm seems to ignore mail_uid and mail_gid along with (possibly) mail_location. This is a setup with all virtual users (all ldap, not system accounts). Everything works in postfix and standard dovecot operation, it is only doveadm which doesn't work. Ldap queries return everything but these entries (as they do not exist in AD). These...

I am using Maildir and virtual domains. I have the following definitions in the dovecot.conf: mail_uid = 10000 mail_gid = 10000 mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/apps/%d/%n/Maildir ... Userdb database is LDAP based. Some users in LDAP might have a uid/gid defined. If thats the case, I want dovecot to use those uid/gid. If the user in LDAP does not have a uid/gid attribute, it'll fall back to using mail_uid/mail...

Hello! I have problems fetching mail for a system user. In use is a passwd-file. If I set (for virtual users) mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail in 10-mail.conf, I get permission denied. 2020-03-23 18:39:23 imap(andreas at dualbit.de): Error: chdir(/home/andreas/Maildir/) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +x perm: /home/andreas/Maildir, dir owned by 5006:5006 mode=0700) The mailbox has permission...

...vmail), dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0750) A previous user had a similar problem in 2015: https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-July/101469.html He was advised to look at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds ? without being given more specific advice. I looked at the page. I tried adding mail_uid and mail_gid. No luck.

...ve an error saying the Maildir is inaccessible and shows that is a permission problem. I changed the chmod to 777 and Dovecot worked (temporarily solution). And, it created additional items under that folder under a "mailman" user (which I specified in the configuration using mail_uid and mail_gid) - Note: it does not work if I do not set these "mail_uid" and "mail_gid" settings. I think what I would like is to make Dovecot access each individual's mailbox using the user's own account and group. How do I do this? I am using Passwd-file scheme. --- My dovecot.con...

...apparently sievec drops privileges to the virtual-mail user. Why does this happen? It seems kind of counter-productive - I don't see a way to properly run sievec as root now? How is this supposed to work? Now I wrote this, I realized that it might be related that I have specified mail_uid and mail_gid globally in my dovecot.conf file. Perhaps those are intended to only be put inside the protocol imap and protocol lda blocks? This would mean duplicating of this bit of configuration, which doesn't really sound nice. Gr.

...Error: user theuser: Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) dovecot: imap(theuser): Error: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. The same two lines are also displayed in mail.info and mail.log Further testing (setting mail_uid & mail_gid to a nobody) shown that the home setting was ignored too. The sql example says that uid and gid are supposed to be an override of the mail_uid and mail_gid settings. Any idea of why the columns are ignored ? Thanks in advance, Eric
