Im having a problem with postfix creating non-readable emails for my webmail(roundcube).

New emails are created like this

Code: Select all

-rw-------  1     200 nofiles 1802 Oct 23 10:17 1256285849.V802I4fef3M331433.NewROOT:2,

if i chmod +r email it is viewable in roundcube....

Code: Select all

NewROOT cur # ls -la
total 12
drwxrwxrwx  2 postfix postfix  216 Oct 23 10:17 .
drwxrwxrwx 10 postfix postfix  328 Oct 23 10:17 ..
-rw-------  1 postfix postfix 1851 Oct 23 10:15 1256285709.V802I4fee3M636985.NewROOT:2,

Thankful for any suggestions or ideas to why postfix are giving them this attributes.

i think the problem is not postfix, but the mailserver which is unable to access the emails.

Postfix is creating all emails with 200:200. So your mailserver needs to use 200:200 to access them.
Roundcube only accesses the mailserver and displays the results.

if you chmod the files "+r" the mailserver can access them because they are world readable.

I thought postfix was the e-mail server?
I can see how many e-mails there are in the folder, but not the e-mails.

Any idea how to fix this?

i tried using a vmail user,

Code: Select all

-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 1849 Oct 23 12:56 1256295406.V802I4fa56M18669.NewROOT:2,

no luck

Which mailserver do you have installed?

Postfix is the MTA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_transfer_agent)

Dovecot? Cyrus?
