Permissions issue? One account -> procmail -> multiple accounts

2006-02-25 22:40:48

I have one main account where all my mail is delivered, procmail runs  
and delivers mail to several different Maildirs.

Assume there are 4 shell accounts: joe bill eric scott

These are all in the same group.

.procmailrc does things like:

        :0
        * ^Sender: procmail-bounces(_at_)lists\(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen\(_dot_)DE
        /home/joe/Maildir/.INBOX.procmail/

I can't get the permissions set correctly.

I've got UMASK=002 at the top of the .procmailrc.

Here's what happens when a new message gets delivered which creates a  
new folder:

drwxrwsr-x   5 luomat   luomat       4096 Feb 12 20:43 /home/joe/ 
Maildir/.INBOX.testTNT2
drwxrwsr-x   2 luomat   luomat       4096 Feb 12 20:43 /home/joe/ 
Maildir/.INBOX.testTNT2/cur
drwxrwsr-x   2 luomat   luomat       4096 Feb 12 20:43 /home/joe/ 
Maildir/.INBOX.testTNT2/tmp
drwxrwsr-x   2 luomat   luomat       4096 Feb 12 20:43 /home/joe/ 
Maildir/.INBOX.testTNT2/new
-rw-rw-r-x   1 luomat   luomat        694 Feb 12 20:43 /home/joe/ 
Maildir/.INBOX.testTNT2/new/1139805810.23473_0.knife

and here's the maildir parent directory
drwxrws---  70 joe luomat 4096 2006-02-12 20:43 /home/tjlists/Maildir/

What happens is that my mail client can see that the new folder  
"testTNT2" has been created but cannot see that there is mail there.   
Someone else looked at a log and said that the IMAP server is sending  
\HasNoChildren

This doesn't make sense to me.  If the mail client can see the  
folder, why can't it see the sub-folders?

Anyone have any clues for me?

ps - it's been a long time since I've had to deal with these things,  
I know 's' stands for 'sticky' but I can't remember its relevance.
