Re: New mail ownership problem

2001-12-04 14:09:18
The only problem is that when the mail files are delivered (in this case 
to user andy) they are created with ownership root:mail .

Is that the user:group as which sendmail is running?

I am assuming that it's something to do with Procmail as that is the
program creating these files. I can't see any mention in the
documentation about how to specify a user to create the files as.

More likely something to with sendmail, I think.  How is sendmail
invoking procmail?

Is it using the -d flag, which sets the recipient to be used in explicit
delivery mode.  For example, /etc/sendmail.cf on a machine I have to
hand has this:

  Mlocal,         P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,
                  T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                  A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u

Does yours have something similar?

Regards,
Martin
