so anyone outside of the 'defang' group has no access to the .sock
file. (you forgot 'file mimedefang.sock' to show file type. but let's
assume it's a real socket).
Sorry about forgetting the file mimedefang.sock. It is showing as a
socket..
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock: socket
Would putting the postfix user in the defang group get around the
permissions problem? The error does not show a permissions problem,
just that it cannot find the file. I'm guessing that has something to
do with the chroot.
maybe you have a chroot issue?
# grep smtpd master.cf
I don't think there is a chroot issue... see below
I think there is... see below;-p
r...@ubuntu:/# grep smtpd /etc/postfix/master.cf
smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
if you check master.cf, you should see:
#==========================================================================
# service type private unpriv chroot wakeup maxproc command + args
# (yes) (yes) (yes) (never) (100)
#
==========================================================================
the 5th field is chroot and defaults to 'yes'. In your config, it is
'-', so it defaults to chrooted.
Sorry for asking these simple questions, but what are my choices for
dealing with the chroot issue?
Thanks again for all the help.
