Installed dovecot. Got the following error: ========== /etc/rc2.d/S21dovecot start Starting mail server: dovecotWarning: Corrected permissions for login directory /var/run/dovecot/login ========== Now nobody can check their mail if a new message has arrived: The error in /var/log/mail.log is: Jun 9 18:35:37 mail1 pop3(chavdar): open(/var/mail/chavdar.lock) failed: Permission denied Jun 9 18:35:37 mail1 pop3(chavdar): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/chavdar: Permission denied So far the permissions of all mboxes in /var/mail were -rw------- 1 trade1 root 1768928 Jun 8 19:20 trade1 -rw------- 1 trade2 root 5585155 Jun 7 09:21 trade2 -rw------- 1 trade3 root 1733158 Feb 25 14:44 trade3 Is it the problem.
