I am getting the following error when Postfix attempts LMTP delivery :

mailbox_user is uid 111, gid 121 on my system.

Not related to low uid/gid numbers? I think newer OS have their limits 
increased to above 1000 or so.

Well, my OS is Debian Bookworm which should be "newer" enough ? ;-)

User/group were originally created via :

adduser --system --disabled-login --shell /usr/sbin/nologin mailbox_user
addgroup --system mailbox_user

Hi Rachel

Could it be that user mailbox_user is not a member of group mailbox_user?

What does grep mailbox_user /etc/passwd show?
