FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE Dovecot 1.0 rc2 Postfix 2.4 I recently installed Dovecot on my system to act as an LDA and POP server. I have a simple mbox setup running with Postfix. Dovecot works as a POP server, but will not operate an an LDA. When I attempt to use it as such the mail gets hung up in the mail queue. This is from the dovecot log file: deliver(jerry): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.whitehat.football.net.1928.e70d4dd9d14583ce) failed: Permission denied deliver(jerry): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/jerry: Permission denied This log continues with the same error message for each message it attempts to deliver. Postfix can deliver the mail without any problems however. I cannot seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I assume someone else in this forum is also using Dovecot as an LDA. Perhaps they can enlighten me. Thanks! Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
