Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It's my understanding that shared folders can be implemented in the |
| 4 |
Dovecot IMAP server by simply symlinking one maildir to another, eg: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
$ ls -lan /home/DOMAIN/ned/.maildir/ |
| 7 |
total 40 |
| 8 |
drwx------ 9 10012 10000 440 Jan 9 04:23 . |

drwxr-xr-x 3 10012 10000 160 Jan 6 06:32 .. |

drwx------ 5 10012 10000 264 Jan 9 04:21 .Deleted Items |

In the above configuration the user Ned has a mailbox "Stroller", in |
| 26 |
which he can read messages & stuff - I can log in as ned and drag & |
| 27 |
drop messages into this mailbox quite happily. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I thought all was well with this type of shared configuration until I |
| 30 |
actually started to try setting it up for the info@×××××××××.com |
| 31 |
mailbox, and tried delivering messages to it. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
It seems that Postfix doesn't respect the permissions of the parent |
| 34 |
folder when delivering mail into it: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
# ls -ldn /home/info/.maildir/ |
| 37 |
drwxrwx--- 5 10021 10000 120 Jan 9 04:26 /home/info/.maildir/ |
| 38 |
# ls -ln /home/info/.maildir/ |
| 39 |
total 0 |
| 40 |
drwxrwx--- 2 10021 10000 48 Jan 9 04:26 cur |
| 41 |
drwxrwx--- 2 10021 10000 48 Jan 9 04:33 new |
| 42 |
drwxrwx--- 2 10021 10000 48 Jan 9 04:31 tmp |
| 43 |
# ls -ln /home/info/.maildir/new |
| 44 |
total 0 |
| 45 |
# cat HungUp.txt | sendmail info |
| 46 |
# sudo ls -l /home/info/.maildir/new |
| 47 |
total 4 |
| 48 |
# sudo ls -ln /home/info/.maildir/new |
| 49 |
total 4 |

How inconsiderate of Postfix to set secure permissions on the message |
| 54 |
it delivered!! I need the message to have 660 permissions so that |
| 55 |
others in the group can read it! At present this causes Squirrelmail |
| 56 |
to squeal & give nasty messages whenever a shared mailbox is accesses. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Can anyone advise me how to resolve this, please? |

PS: should you consider suggesting using Dovecot's "namespaces" type |
| 64 |
of shared mailbox, I'd be grateful if you could answer this first: |
