Arguably, the mode for the maildirsize file should match the mode for the mail files themselves. File a bug, because it's hard-coded to 0600. If you're happy building from source, the quick hack is to edit src/transports/tf_maildir.c -- search for O_CREAT, the first one exists with O_EXCL and handles creating the temporary file which is renamed into place. The mode is given as octal 0600 there, change it to 0640. -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
