similar to: Maildir messages owned by Root.

Greetings all, After running for more than a year without issue on debian lenny while it was in the testing- we're now experiencing problems under Lenny/Stable. Dovecot now converts some sort of lockfile into messages, and they're owned by root. The result is a mess; clients can't read their mailboxes with the root-owned files, and when the file is changed to be owned by them, many

Hi list., With dovecot-rc7 I am getting the following error when delivering to root while queue gets bigger with failed attempts: deliver(nobody): stat(/root/Maildir) failed: Permission denied deliver(nobody): stat(/root/.dovecot.sieve) failed: Permission denied deliver(nobody): lstat(/root/Maildir/cur) failed: Permission denied What am I missing? In postfix/main.cf home_mailbox =

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail That solution looks great for a single user, but is it possible to do a larger version that runs for everyone on the server? I'm speaking specifically of a virtual setup where all mailboxes are owned by a common UID/GID. It seems like (with brief testing) that I could search for mail inside of a "Refilter" folder, like

I'm using the standard Dovecot 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4, with a Maildir++ mailbox. I've noticed what I think is an oddity in the way dovecot handles messages: According to the Maildir specification, a message in Maildir/new is a truly new message, which has not yet been touched by any reader. From an IMAP viewpoint, such a message should have the flag RECENT. However, if a message exists

Hi, I'm starting to see more and more duplicates in my cur directory. they seem to be a copy of an incoming mail (messages share the same date) but they appears in the client as a message without subject and without sender or body. Their filename starts with an underscore and the 4th letter is a %. The rest of the filename is random (but it also includes my hostname). Which program could

Hi Perhaps I've been going too far OT in my previous thread or perhaps I just didn't explain my problem clear enough so forgive me for trying again. I have configured fetchmail to fetch my mail from my ISP's POP3-server. I have set up procmail to filter messages and deliver all non-filtered messages to the folder ".IN-catchall/" in "$HOME/Maildir" After sending

I just moved to dovecot with Maildir. I think this is probably a stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer after an hour of googling and searching the wiki. What would happen if I ran a script that did this: mv ~/Maildir/.folder_one/cur/* ~/Maildir/.folder_two/cur/ My hunch is it might break things. What if dovecot was stopped? ,.,.,. Where can I find a list of files in

We have a user who deleted IMAP folders from his account, so I simply tried to restore the folder ".FolderName" from our backup. I checked that file/folder ownership was the same as the original, but the Dovecot IMAP server is throwing errors at the client. I've tried copying the individual message files from the "cur" folders in the backup directory, but Dovecot

Hey all, So I've got a shared namespace in dovecot where users can, via a custom control panel, share their folders into (which creates a symlink) in order to allow anyone on their domain to access it. I store mail in maildir. The issue is that when people share folders, they expect that when they make subfolders, those are automatically shared as they are contained within it.

This is the trace (gdb) run Starting program: /root/tmp/dovecot-1.0.rc7/src/imap/imap x select inbox Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. mail_index_write_base_header (index=0x80e2a28, hdr=0xaff66028) at mail-index.c:1313 1313 memcpy(index->map->mmap_base, hdr, hdr_size); (gdb) bt #0 mail_index_write_base_header (index=0x80e2a28, hdr=0xaff66028) at

Hi all, Hopefully, I'm sending this to the right place... Can someone guide me on changing the Maildir messages files back to the single file format I used to have instead of the dovecot.index /cur /tmp /new format my newer server currently has. I'm running dovecot v1.2.9 postfix v2.7 on Ubuntu v10.4

Hello, It seems that a non-root user is able to copy root owned files. By that I mean a file that has "400" permission, for example. rsync <server_host_name>::base_image/etc/<root_owned_file> . The "rsyncd.conf" file has "uid=root" and "gid=root". What options do I need to use so that root can copy root owned files, but non-root users cannot

G'Day, I am trying to find a definitive answer to what the directory permissions should be for my configuration under Centos 5.5. I see a number of the following error messages in the maillog as a consequence of permissions errors. After reading the FAQ, Wiki etc. and browsing the web I am unable to determine just exactly what the user security settings should be for the offending

Hi, I have managed to set up a 'maildir' based mail system using fetchmail and procmail that delivers sorted mail to folders /var/spool/mail/user1, ../user2 etc. 'user1', 'user2' etc. are real users but the mail system is run under logged in user 'mailserver'. The mail folders are owned by 'user1', 'user2' etc. but mail files, when delivered, are

I'm using Dovecot (+postfix) to host some personal imap accounts on a private server (Maildir format). I've got one account that receives mostly automated mails, and I want to be able to purge messages beyond a given date (say 30 days). I know that since maildir uses flat files, I can literally just delete messages doing something similar to the following with bash: for i in $(find

Hi Team, I am just a curious individual user who reviewed the OpenSSH;not working for a company. I was just wondering why there is a restriction for chroot directory to be owned by root. The line of code below in session.c show them. The basic UNIX security permissions provide a sufficient access control. Have you guys found a way to bypass security if the directory is not owned by root? -

Dear I encounter this error on Samba 3.0.28a, i would like to know how to fix it, The file is owned by root, i don't understand whats going wrong... smbd[15232]: [2011/02/18 16:32:22, 0] param/loadparm.c:load_usershare_shares(4878) Feb 18 16:32:22 virtualbox smbd[15232]: load_usershare_shares: directory /var/lib/samba/usershares/data is not owned by root or does not have the sticky bit

Hi, I installed 3.0.2p1 on our Solaris 8 systems this week (new to ssh), and when I look at the process list for sshd, I see: root 14547 1 0 10:35:29 ? 0:00 /opt/openssh/sbin/sshd root 14548 14547 0 10:35:36 ? 0:01 /opt/openssh/sbin/sshd Process 14547 is the deamon listening on port 22, but process 14548 is my connection from elsewhere. I consider it a design

I just tried to mount Windows 2003 share. I used the following command to mount it: mount.cifs //10.1.1.1/G$ /mnt/2003/ -o user=admin,domain=MYDOMAIN The mount is fine, I can read the files. However, each and every file is owned by root, which is not true. Moreover, each and every file and folder has the same permissions, which is also not true. I can change the owners and permissions, but
