Hi all, Initially i asked in debian-users and I was suggested to ask in this mailing list, so I explain my problem :D.
I have a problem with postfix and maildrop. I would swear that all worked fine with Debian Etch and I have the problem since I upgraded to Debian Lenny. I have installed postfix as MTA and maildrop as MDA and it's configured as follows: /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop -d "$USER" Postfix deliver mail in Maildir format instead of mbox format, and all the mails are stored in the user's home directory (/home/*/Maildir or /root/Maildir). /etc/postfix/main.cf: home_mailbox = Maildir/ Well, the problem is that email is delived correctly to normal unix users but it's queued when the mail is for root user with the following error: 2C13897470 8210 Fri Oct 15 21:23:52 r...@xxxxxx (temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Cannot set my user or group id.) r...@xxxxxx I have googled and I don't find anything. I give you more information: # ls -lhd /root drwxr-x--- 18 root root 1,0K oct 16 16:38 /root # ls -lhd /root/Maildir/ drwx------ 6 root root 1,0K oct 15 23:08 /root/Maildir/ At a beginning I though that it could be a problem with filesystem permissions but the other users (unix users with mail) have similar permissions and they receive the mail without problem. Can you suggest anything? Thanks in advance! -- Christian Pinedo Zamalloa (zako) PGP keyID: 0x828D0C80 Fingerprint: 7BFF 4105 F46B 7977 BD96 348C 1007 4FF8 828D 0C80
