I don’t really want to. It’s inherited config that I’ve already changed. It could be a maildir anywhere on the filesystem, and my question was if there was a way to make the files owned by a particular user (say, the RT user). The local manpage says: Deliveries to external files and external commands are made with the rights of the receiving user on whose behalf the delivery is made. In the absence of a user context, the local(8) daemon uses the owner rights of the :include: file or alias database. When those files are owned by the superuser, delivery is made with the rights specified with the default_privs configuration parameter. I have to assume that pointing it at some archive dir is “in the absence of a user context" It’s never going to be accessed with a normal mail client, this is mainly for forensics in the case where we want to see the raw headers or report the raw body as spam evidence or something (which is not possible from within RT once RT has digested it). -Dan _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
