Hi, I'm using Postfix 2.9.3 on a RedHat machine.
I'm trying to make Postfix mail files, from the spool/deferred dir, readable by postfix group users. By default they are readable only by the postfix user, 0700. For instance: ls -la /opt/postfix/spool/deferred/5/5C8EA46029F -rwx------ 1 postfix postfix 3203 Jun 9 2012 /opt/postfix/spool/deferred/5/5C8EA46029F But I need it to be: -rwxrw---- 1 postfix postfix 3203 Jun 9 2012 /opt/postfix/spool/deferred/5/5C8EA46029F The deferred folder has the the right file permissions: I tried changing postfix's source code such that it would make group permissions read/write. But I always get group read permission flagged out. I changed the following files: mail_steram.c (fchmod from 0700 to 0770) postdrop.c (mod from 0444 to 0464) May be some can give me a hint on why the group read permission is always flagged out ? Many thanks!
