Re: [qmailtoaster] Make mail messages readable by all
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 -all@localmachine. We just want these email files to be accessible as regular files via nfs mount.

Re: [qmailtoaster] Make mail messages readable by all
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...

Re: [qmailtoaster] Make mail messages readable by all
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.

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