Refer to server log for more information. [2010-01-28 13:26:15] I cannot send email to the root user on the box. I can send email to other users on the box. Root user does not have a .dovecot.sieve. Dovecot created ~user/Maildir fine, but will not create /root/Maildir. Permissions on ~user directory: drwx------ 6 nickl nickl 4096 Jan 28 13:07 /home/nickl/ Permissions on /root directory: drwxr-x--- 20 root root 4096 Jan 28 13:24 /root/ Running dovecot with postfix, mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver . This is all running fine for the user but not for root. I don't want dovecot-sieve to work on root's emails anyway, just the users.
