Somehow it ran okay when I copied and modified the example conf file with the same changes. I guess you have to explicitly turn on pop3 now. Here is the log output: Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=110 rport=48531 resp=<hidden> Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(despam_test_anubis,127.0.0.1): lookup service=dovecot Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth-worker(default): pam(despam_test_anubis,127.0.0.1): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=despam_test_anubis Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 1 25788 1 Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth(default): passwd(despam_test_anubis,127.0.0.1): lookup Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 1 despam_test_anubis system_user=despam_test_anubis uid=511 gid=100 home=/home/anubis/despam_test_anubis Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: child 25810 (pop3) killed with signal 11 Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: POP3(despam_test_anubis): Effective uid=511, gid=100 Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: POP3(despam_test_anubis): mbox: data=~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/despam_test_anubis Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: POP3(despam_test_anubis): fs: root=/home/anubis/despam_test_anubis/mail, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/mail/despam_test_anubis Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: POP3(despam_test_anubis): file_dotlock_create(/var/spool/mail/despam_test_anubis) failed: Permission denied (euid=511(despam_test_anubis) egid=100(users) missing +w perm: /var/spool/mail) (set mail_privileged_group=mail) Feb 26 14:14:06 anubis dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<despam_test_anubis>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Feb 26 14:14:07 anubis dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=25811 It isn't setting egid to 12(mail) like it should. Thanks for your help. What about IMAP and dotlock files? I need dotlock files for inbox and all the folders to keep openwebmail from trying to change the folders while an IMAP connection is open. It's probably not too likely in our scenario anyway so it won't be a showstopper, but is that possible? Mark
