i always forget that centos adds users directory with mask 700

You really only need to add the world execute bit (I'm pretty sure)
to the directory.
true, 0711 would technically work just as well, but i would go with
0755 anyway, since the only sensitive information is the "domains"
directory (for obvious reasons) and maybe one or two files in the
"etc" directory. i don't see the harm in leaving the rest of it open,
especially the "doc" directory (although the people who have shell
access on my machine are, for the most part, people who are running
their own mail servers and may want to compare their own server to how
i'm doing things.)
maurizio, i would suggest you look at the "vfixpermissions" script on
my web site. it would have fixed this particular problem, although you
would have lost out on the experience of troubleshooting, finding, and
fixing the problem for yourself (i.e. you learned more by doing it by
hand, which i feel is always a good thing.)
i also think it's a good starting point when debugging vpopmail-
related issues in general... and one person told me that reading it
helped them to understand how shell scripts worked in general, for
what that may be worth to you (i was glad i could help him- i think he
should have known the stuff already, but the fact that he was trying
to learn gives me hope.)
