The exact error would help. > But if I run smtpd in the foreground as root the deliver takes place > flawlessly. If I ask smtpd as the user in (3) above to deliver to a mbox it > works fine. I don't get what you meen with "as the user in (3)". OpenSMTPD must run as root and has some helper user for special porposes. By default the delivery (mda) is run as the recipient user. Also to better understand what you do: can you share your config? > I see the systemd file has a set of read and write directories and am not > sure if that has something to do with it or not. The maildir delivery method writes to $HOME/Maildir by default. If your systemd service file disallowes this it obviolus fails. Specify a different directory might help. A bit more general, considering your other mail asking about ldap: I would asume this gives a bit bigger setup wher in the end the users access there mails only via IMAP/Webmail. In this case I would recommend to deliver via lmtp to something like dovecot. This gives you a bit more flexibility about where you store the users mail and allows some features (like sieve).
