POP/IMAP not working after update RC5 -> 1.0.2

[fm4]

Hi there,

emailing is not working anymore after I updatet from rc5 to 1.0.2. Neither the Webmailer nor Thunderbird are able to get a connection - I think the login is the problem.

tail /var/log/mail.log says:
pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[::ffff:XX.XX.XX.XXX]
pop3d-ssl: user@domain.net: chdir(/var/mail/virtual/domain.net/user) failed!!
pop3d-ssl: error: Permission denied
pop3d-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, user=user@domain.net, ip=[::ffff:XX.XX.XX.XXX]
pop3d-ssl: authentication error: Permission denied

I would be very glad if someone can help me out with this.

Thanks
fm4

Something went wrong regarding permissions. Make sure that /var/mail/virtual is chmod 0755, owned by root:root and all of it's subdirectories are owned by vmail:mail with 0700 (directories) or 0600 (files) permissions...

It seems that all permissons are set correct - but the error remains. Could the reason of this error be the password encryption which was introduced in RC7?

Seriously, something must be wrong regarding permissions if you are getting this message. Try to switch to the user who is running pop3d-ssl (vmail?) and "cd /var/mail/virtual/domain.net/user"...

I cannot switch to the user vmail. couriertcpd which is run by pop3d-ssl runs with root privileges.

So as root you can do

Code:

cd /var/mail/virtual/domain.net/user

?
What does "ls -la" say?

I think that is as it should be isn't it?

As root, try to execute:

Code:

# su vmail -c cd /var/mail/virtual/domain.net/user

The problem is probably in some intermediate folder, not in the "user" one itself...

I don't get any error message back from the su command, so it seems to be ok, right?

check /etc/courier/userdb and compare uid to /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf line MTA_MAILBOX_UID =
Example:
/etc/courier/userdb: email@domain.tld uid=1001|gid...
/etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf: MTA_MAILBOX_UID = 1001
If they match, check vmail uid/gid with command: id vmail and check if they match to config.
