Thanks, guys. I did consider adding the "amavis" user to the "vmail" group, but the default permissions on the directories within "Maildir" are 700 (with vmail:vmail ownership). So, I'd have to fiddle with the permissions on the entire directory tree, for each user, which seems like a bad idea. Furthermore, ISPconfig handles the creation (and deletion) of these directories, so I hesitate to change anything manually and muck-up the installation. While there may be permissions mask that is applied, modifying it seems risky. I wonder what the rest of the Dovecot + Amavis + SA world is doing about this. Maybe I should ask on the Amavis mailing list. If anyone has other suggestions, by all means, please do share. > This command will probably need to be run as root.
