Package: uw-imapd
Version: 7:2006j2.dfsg-3
Severity: normal
uw-imapd: suggests chmod 01777 /var/mail;
Steps to reproduce:
. Create a nonempty incoming mailbox ("INBOX"):
echo |mail -s test $USER
. mutt -f imaps://localhost/ and login
. mutt warns in the statusbar a message apparently from uw-imapd via
libc-client
base-files postinst very specifically creates /var/mail with mode
02775, which seems more reasonable. Users will not be able to create
arbitrary files; rather, mailserver software which runs with SGID mail
or does setuid(user) will be allowed to write/create the users'
mailboxen, and users will be able to modify them.
