Error in Dovecot

[mentes]

I have an error.

dovecot: dovecot: Fatal: chdir(/var/vmail/domain.com/user/) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000() egid=5000() missing +x perm: /var/vmail/domain.com)
dovecot: dovecot: child 22766 (imap) returned error 89 (Fatal failure)

I do:

chmod +x /var/vmail/domain.com/user
chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail

And I still have the same error.

Just wondering...

Log into your mysql database and run this query

select uid,gid from dbispconfig.mail_user where not uid=5000;

what is the result of the query?

also /var/vmail/domain.com has no +x group rights .. though i still think it's strange it doesn't work, try giving /var/vmail/domain.com +x on the group so:

chmod g+x /var/vmail/domain.com

If that solves your problem, then dovecot in some way must check the the gid rights as well.

mysql> select uid,gid from dbispconfig.mail_user where not uid=5000;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

I get it works with these permissions

drwxrwx--x 5 vmail vmail 4096 Aug 3 21:42 domain.com

Is right?
