File permissions for postfix

Hello-

I changed the file permissions (recursively ) for the entire /home/vmail directory while trying to troubleshoot maildrop and now I cannot login to any of the mail accounts on the server. I followed the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Fedora Core 5) How To. Can anyone show me how to reset the directory and file permissions to their defaults?

 

If there aren't any emails in that directory, it might be easier to just recreate the whole /home/vmail directory.

 

Which comands to recreate the /home/vmail directory

Hi Falko-

Which commands would recreate the /home/vmail directory with the proper permissions? Also, would the users currently in the database be able to accept mail again after /home/vmail is recreated?

 

Try this:

Code:

rm -fr /home/vmail
mkdir /home/vmail
chown vmail:vmail /home/vmail

Yes.

 

thanks, back to working on maildrop delivery

Thank you for your help.
Back to work on a maildrop script to place the mail spamassassin marks as junk into each users junk folder.
