It is simply the messages, with a special line signifying write time, and separator. Dovecot probably requires read access to the file before it can write as it probably uses a "safety net" for things like drive space issues, quota issues, etc... I'm not sure if you could just setup the permissions on the file as you have. Have you tried the dovecot list, as this is where the question is more likely to get a better answer? -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Posting Hints: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/MailingListPostingGuidelines ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
