    Is this an ISPConfig server? ISPConfig stores emails in /var/vmail and not /var/mail. Maybe you set the mail directory to /var/mail under system > server config, this can't work and needs to be changed back to /var/vmail. And why do you have a directory 'vhosts' there owned by the vmail user, ispconfig does not use such a directory. Maybe you had another panel installed before you installed ispconfig?

    Ok, so you posted in the wrong forum then. I'll move your post to the general Linux forum.

    The errors mention more paths where the execute bit has to be set.

    You can see if you can provide remote assistance. I do not understand

    The error message mentions that the execute bit on /var/mail is missing too. so run:

    chmod +x /var/mail

    Thank you so late for my patience to answer doubts, thank you. That is, you can not provide remote assistance and provide me with a way to find a solution. I also saw you a similar problem with the target of the post, only to find you. happy weekend!
