Edit /etc/group and restart postfix


$ sudo nano /etc/cyrus.conf
changing back;
lmtpunix        cmd="lmtpd"
listen="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
maxchild=20

as;
lmtpunix        cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp"
prefork=0 maxchild=20

This above step is necessary otherwise mail won't arrive.


$ sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 restart
Stopping Cyrus IMAPd: cyrmaster.
Waiting for complete shutdown...

Send satimiscyrus a mail on GMail.  Mail arrives NOW.

$ sudo nano /var/spool/cyrus/mail/s/user/satimiscyrus/1.
read the mail.


Why the arriving mail is numbered as '1.'?


I'll revert the change on chroot to the original state later to see
whether it has effect.



Athentication problem still remains intact.

I'll continue to solve this problem on another thread.

It is Debian/Ubuntu way.  They use sudoer instead of "su" changing to
root.


Previously I met another joke.  Folks on Internet seeing my postings
asked me why not following Debian/Ubutu way of operation while working
on them.
