Currently, the postfix user only belongs to the postfix group. Users can belong to multiple groups. Add the postfix user to the mail group, so it can access your socket. > Sorry I'm not very clear.

Thanks I see no lmtp group in your configuration, so I don't expect this to have any effect. > On > http://unixadmintalk.com/f11/postfix-cyrus21-89421/ Don't blindly follow howtos without understanding the underlying concepts. > His output is; > > $ id postfix > uid=101(postfix) gid=103(postfix) > groups=103(postfix),45(sasl),1001(lmtp) He is apparently creating specialized groups that presumably have differing needs, which is fine, but you don't need to add this complexity at this stage. You can revisit this once you have a working solution and understand the reasoning behind it, but I wouldn't bother unless your platform imposes this on you. > The output here is; > $ id postfix > uid=107(postfix) gid=111(postfix) groups=111(postfix) Yes. Now add the postfix user to the mail group, and the permissions error should disappear. > How about sasl? Concentrate on fixing one error at a time. I don't use a special sasl group on my system. You might not need one, either. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
