similar to: Permission Denied - cannot create inbox

I am running a very small dovecot installation with only one user (me). I use the Solr indexer for indexing. Due to complicated reasons, I was forced to remove all the indexes and need to re-index everything. All the files in my Maildir are owned by md5i:mail (I am md5i), and have 660 permissions. All directories have the same user:group permissions, and 770 with the setguid bit set. (That

I have dovecot version 2.0.9 I am confused about this article http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm my mail_location = mbox:~/mymail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u So my inbox is at var/mail/ and my imap folder is /home/user/mymail The problem is /var/mail (Owner is useraccount and the group us mail) , and here comes the problem Dovecot keeps trying to chown the imap folder inside the

I was glancing at my logwatch report when I noticed: dovecot: IMAP(robinmail): fchown(/home/robinmail/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock, -1, 10(wheel)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=100(users), group based on /var/mail/robinmail): 1 Time(s) dovecot: IMAP(robinmail): fchown(/home/robinmail/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp, -1, 10(wheel)) failed: Operation not

Hello all, I'm not sure if this question is better posed to a Fedora group because I have only had this problem since I upgraded from F9 to F11, but I figured that the specialised knowledge here might help me more... I have been getting these entries in syslog since upgrading. Today for instance I got: **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.0 starting up (core dumps disabled): 1

Hi! I'd like to use deliver (dovecot-1.2.10) as LDA to deliver mails to my local users on my postfix-system. However, deliver tries to copy the filesystem permissions of the mail-spool-files to the user's index files, which doesn't work, since the files in /var/mail/ belong to the group 'mail'.

Hi there, after upgrading from 0.99 to 1.2, the following errors appear in the error log: Mar 09 15:50:23 POP3(cwchbodega): Error: fchown(/home/cwchbodega/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log.newlock, -1, 12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=653(cwchbodega), group based on /var/mail/cwchbodega) Mar 09 15:50:53 POP3(cwchbodega): Error:

Wether the dlm_lock needs to access lvb or not depends on dlm_lock_resource it belongs to. So a new parameter "struct dlm_lock_resource *res" is added to dlm_new_lock() so that we can know if we need to allocate lvb for the dlm_lock. And we have to make the lockres availale for calling dlm_new_lock(). Signed-off-by: Wengang Wang <wen.gang.wang at oracle.com> ---

Hi: I get the occasional error below. Is there something I don't have configured correctly? Or should I just ignore this? It is not always this file, sometimes it is the cache.lock file or the log.newlock file. I have a mail client running on my computer and my phone at the same time, could that have something to do with it? Nov 10 08:32:59 rabbitbrush dovecot: IMAP(bob):

Hello, i want to configure a virtual mailsystem on an debian server with exim and dovecot. Because it is running on a V-Server, i want to store everythink in a LUKS encrypted contrainer. So i created a group crypt with the members Debian-exim (107), dovecot, (other users with encrypted content) All mails should be stored in /mail in the mounted container. Dovecot has this configuration:

Sorry for the long and confusing post, I'm pretty new to dovecot other than basic functionality. I recently in the last week went through the documentation

I'm getting 2 errors which are probably related, the second of which I haven't actually seen an issue with yet (I just found it looking at the error log) The issue is that I cannot change my subscriptions through Thunderbird (version 31.0). I created the subscriptions through Thunderbird, but now it won't let me change them. dovecot responds with sutff like this when I sniff

While experimenting a bit, I found that for some reason, locking indexes with flock is problematic, but only if user is taken from passwd-file. The host system is openbsd 3.9, dovecot's configuration is added at the bottom. Authentication is from two places - first from mentioned passwd-file, then from passwd file using bsdauth (in this case, there're no problems with flock). So, if

Hi all, I'm upgrading my old F9 mail server to Centos 7 and all is going well. However, I've got a problem with recently created users. I've rsync'd /home and /var/spool/mail after moving /etc/passwd and /etc/group I used the default locations on the old F9 server, i.e. mail delivered to /var/spool/mail/%u by EXIM and Dovecot using that as the inbox. Dovecot then used ~/mail/

Hi guys! I started to have the problem above last October, 2th. I don´t know why and how, because it was saturday. So, my file server stoped to authenticate against the Samba4 AD.

Thanks! # MY CRONTAB 17 * * * * root cd /

I'm running Samba v4.4.4 as a domain member server in security=domain mode. Our 3 domain controllers are Server 2012r2. Every 3-4 days, I see log messages from winbind saying "winbind_samlogon_retry_loop: sam_logon returned ACCESS_DENIED". Sometimes this corresponds to a trust password change, but not always. Today, new connections to Samba were failing with the error

F12, libvirt 0.7.1-15, qemu 0.11.0-12, 32 bit I recently discovered that libvirt is stealing ownership of my disk images. How can I make it stop? I have a disk image in my home directory, owned by matt. When I create a domain that uses the disk it gets chowned to qemu.qemu. When the domain terminates it is owned by root.root. I've lost access to the file. It has been suggested that the
