Re: Dovecot correct ownership for logs

For us the situation is even a bit stranger. The inboxes are located in neither location, but in /maildirs/username/ (no idea why it was set up that way, but it's a dedicated mail server where the user's don't have their own home directory). /var/mail is empty.

If this is true, then how would a local delivery agent work?  It needs
write access to all users' inboxes, which are either in /var/mail or in
users' home directories.

I could imagine the Postfix SMTP sending/receiving and queue processing
programs being chrooted, but the LDA probably isn't.  Or at least not
chrooted to /var/spool/postfix.
