I have a shared administrative account whose system mailbox I would
like to have permissions rw-r----- so that members of a group can
check it for message headers.
Since installing procmail (v3.13.1), the mailbox permissions get reset
to rw------- every time new mail is delivered. I have tried setting
the account's procmailrc file to
UMASK=007
but this has no effect: the permissions are still reset to 0600 with
each new delivery.
Any ideas on how I can keep the system mailbox group readable?
To quote the MISCELLANEOUS section of the procmail(1) manpage:
If /var/mail/$LOGNAME already is a valid mailbox, but has
got too loose permissions on it, procmail will correct
this. To prevent procmail from doing this make sure the
u+x bit is set.
So, set the permissions to 740 == rwxr-----
