According to : http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/install-configure.html --------------------- One thing you need to watch out for is the UID and GID of the Postfix software. As it states in the Postfix "INSTALL" document, you must create a new account that does not share its UID and GID with any other user account. This is for security reasons. If you installed Postfix with a GID of "mail", you will need to select a different GID for Cyrus. See the Cyrus configure options "--with-cyrus-user" and "--with-cyrus-group". (This was more crucial when the use of Cyrus' "deliver" was more prevalent, but it is still a good idea to follow this policy.) -------------------- I did just that, give another GID to postfix, different from cyrus. Now I followed your advise and gave postfix the GID of cyrus and suddenly a lot of anomalies have disappeared but sending mail is no longer an option: --- Oct 17 13:07:39 aardappel postfix/pipe[13001]: fatal: request to use mail system owner group id 12 -- but... changing mailbox_transport = cyrus to mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp in main.cf postfix takes care of that last little bug. Thanx , I think I now have a fully working basic setup. Tha last remaining issue is the creation of folders by users. I use thunderbird as a test mail-client, configured to use imap. I can send & receive mail without problems, but when I try to create a new folder in my top-level folder I get an error that I don't have permission to do so, but when I create an extra folder in e.g. the Inbox from the top-level directory it's OK. Suppose that's the way things are set up in cyrus . Thanks ,Wim Bakker This e-mail was scanned by RAV Antivirus!
