Second, is there only *one* dovecot-shared per namespace or per mailbox
*under* a specific namespace? Or an arbitrary number (where the "last"
is taken)? Where does dovecot-shared need to be placed?
For each mailbox.
(Definition) In my example:
/var/mail/shared is the *namespace* and
/var/mail/shared/.Group1/...
/var/mail/shared/.Group2/...
the mailboxes; is this true?
For example, if the location of the namespace points to /var/mail/shared
and I have two mailboxes "group1" and "group2" inside.
Does the dovecot-shared need to reside in /var/mail/shared or
/var/mail/shared/group1 and /var/mail/shared/group2 (with LAYOUT=fs)? Is
it possible?
group1& group2
Thank you. This means *no* dovecot-acl in /var/mail/shared.
Third (and main) question: In /var/mail/shared I want to have a mailbox
for each group. Each user is member of his respective groups (in terms
of UNIX permissions *and* ACLs).
The mailboxes are owned by their respective groups and if a user creates
a subfolder inside it should surely have the same group assigned as the
parent mailbox (not the namespace!).
Well, now you're going into something that's a new feature :) But you
can probably do:
/var/mail/shared = root:root, 02770
/var/mail/shared/group1 = root:group1, 02770
Now filesystem should preserve group1 and Dovecot should preserve 02770
permissions.
Woow, indeed, this seems to work, also in the presence of the
"dovecot-acl" files in /var/mail/shared/group1 and
/var/mail/shared/group2. What I have forgotten is 02770 for
/var/mail/shared.
I somehow do not understand why this matters...
In fact, this structure seems to work now as expected:
D /var/mail/shared = root:root, 02770
F /var/mail/shared/dovecot-acl = root:root, 0644

Thanks again!
