Thanks for the advisory. I was trying to change from "pipe" to "lmtp" earlier today but I was getting "permission denied" in the maillog.
So my next question is: What permissions has to be set to get this to work ? I have this config: Cyrus Imap 2.1.5, Postfix 1.1.11, with mySQL and web-cyradm running. We're also using sasl for smtp. /etc/cyrus.conf lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/home/mailusers/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 /etc/postfix/master.cf lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp /etc/postfix/main.cf mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/home/mailusers/imap/socket/lmtp the lmtp socket itself, has "root.root" permissions. imap belongs to "cyrus.mail" postfix belongs to "postfix.postdrop" postfix owner = postfix (The pipe option works fine though...)
