The errors says all. Almost ...

If I understand you correctly, I can chose one of the three options you presented to me, right? If so, 3) I did until now. 2) no way. To 1): I now set mail_privileged_group = mail

drwxrwx--x  94 root  mail  3072 Dec 18 01:43 /var/mail

But I still get the same error. The LMTP and the IMAP process do still get executed under group %u, when they try to create the mailbox. What's wrong?

Thank you for your help!

1. See:

Group to enable temporarily for privileged operations. Currently this is

used only with INBOX when either its initial creation or dotlocking

fails.

Typically this is set to "mail" to give access to /var/mail.

#mail_privileged_group =

Grant access to these supplementary groups for mail processes. Typically

these are used to set up access to shared mailboxes. Note that it may be

dangerous to set these if users can create symlinks (e.g. if "mail"

group is

set here, ln -s /var/mail ~/mail/var could allow a user to delete others'

mailboxes, or ln -s /secret/shared/box ~/mail/mybox would allow

reading it). #mail_access_groups =

2. chmod 1777 /var/mail

3. pre-create your user dirs
