You should only need to add postfix to the mail group (at least, that's what I do on Slackware, where I have Postfix and Cyrus IMAPd compiled from source). You may still encounter a problem if Postfix is chrooted (the default in Debian-based systems, I believe). It is perfectly safe to not chroot Postfix, and I would recommend this as the easiest solution if it raises issues. ---- 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
