Are the permissions and ownership of /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming correct? finaly i have not the messages in the baruwa web site I do not know where is the problem exactly. Thank you in advance for your help
The problem is that the directory /var/spool/MailScanner is owned by the user and group mail and that noone else can read that directory. So even if the directories within /var/spool/MailScanner are owned by postfix, that user cannot access them because the parent directory isn't accessible for the user postfix.
Hello What is the solution, can i change the privileges to 777 to enable access for another users. Can I uses the following commandes to enable acces for postfix Code: chmod 777 /var/spool/MailScanner/ chmod 777 -R /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/ And Why Debian-exim is the user for /var/spool/MailScanner/ and not postfix Can i change the user for postfix ? Thank you in advance
