Hai,
I checked and indeed permissions are set that way, but
there seems to be different opinions on how to configure postfix.
One document I found stated the following should be added to
the main.cf:
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
another document stated the following should be added
to main.cf:
mailbox_transport = cyrus
for the same basic setup.
Well , the first gives the , permission denied error,
the second makes the system behave well and
mail gets transported, so I take the second is the correct
entry for main.cf
Thanx
