Mailboxes are in /var/mail and ^^ /var/mail contains the INBOX only sending/receiving emails is working as it always did. mail_location is still setup to be MAIL_LOCATION = MBOX:~/MAIL:INBOX=/VAR/MAIL/%U Everything else is in ~/MAIL (why uppercase?) Why is it trying a mkdir in /var/www? Because most likely /var/www is the home directory of www-data and you've configured to use $HOME/MAIL as base directory, which is /var/www/mail - -- Steffen Kaiser I don't know where the uppercase is coming from. In the email I've sent its lower case. How can I fix that without changing permissions of /var/www? Where is $HOME/MAIL configured? Why do I get this error now for the first time, when there was no change to the system configuration? Probably someone attempted to send email via a crappy script and it's now trying to deliver to www-data. first_valid_uid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 1001 also, doveconf -n would be useful. Aki Here is doveconf -n: https://pastebin.com/raw/s6cKwHGc Home directory is provided by passwd userdb when present in passwd file. to override it, use userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = home=/var/mail/%Lu } Aki Thanks for the quick replies. I've checked, and the user database information is stored in /home/user/mail/ for every user. That works as expected without changing anything. I have still the same question… Why is it trying to write to /var/www when the mailbox is in /var/mail/ and the user data in /home/user/mail/?So you are saying that the home directory field, in /etc/passwd, for user www-data is set to /home/www-data/mail ?You should consider setting first_valid_uid = 1000 Aki
No, it's /var/www.It's trying to deliver to user www-data and because of below line in passwd, it attempts to create the dir in www, right?
/www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/usr/sbin/nologin/[1] How can I find out with email is causing the error message? Links: ------ [1]
