[qmailtoaster] Make mail messages readable by all
The email messages all have the very tight permission 600. We have many group accounts whose messages need to be readable by all. Is there a way to set permission to 644 somewhere in qmailtoaster? Since the /home/user is already protected with 700, I am not concerned about privacy or security issues. If will be great if this can be controlled at the account level. Currently I just run a cron job to change the perms but it is not a scalable solution. Thanks for any info.

I don't get it. Why do you want to change permission? What do you mean by group accounts?

We archive error emails from web sites which are then nfs mounted to the eng server so that they can help troubleshooting issues. The archived emails are collected by sitenames which act as group accounts. But this means mails for each site will be readable by that account alone which is not what we want. We want such error emails to be readable by all, on the nfs client machine. Thanks Richard On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 07:11:57PM +0200, Délsio Cabá wrote: I don't get it.

Shortcutting all of the permissions issues, if you have an e-mail account that is to be shared, why not just use one mailbox that multiple people can access with IMAP? There is no limit to the number of users who can be logged into a single IMAP account -- I do this all the time for bosses and their secretaries. It can even be setup so that the secretary either can, or cannot, send messages FROM the boss. The only thing special about this setup is that the secretary's system has to know the password to the boss's email account. But so long as an Admin sets it up so that the secretary doesn't actually know the password, it's reasonably secure...

Those are archived (local) files on the servers and therefore are not available via imap because these servers are web servers and not email servers. In other words, they are created by qmail client with email addrs like local_user-all@localmachine. We just want these email files to be accessible as regular files via nfs mount.
