Hello All, i have implemented public folders with the below tutorial.

http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic1054 … hange.html

Everything was working fine initially. As I gave permission to public folders, i started noticing that it was not taking up the permission that had given by me. for ex, i type,
sudo doveadm acl set -A "Public/Research" "user=postmaster<at>g****bs.biz" lookup read write insert delete create

and postmaster should have all permission in "Research" public folder. its not the case. also the permission is not getting applied to sub folders in public folder. Kindly guide me to configure the permission correctly,  If I'm wrong with my command.

my ultimate ambition is to allow all users to subscribe any folder, view, insert, create sub folders, in public folders, but they should not delete any mails. Except for postmaster who can also delete mails along with said permissions.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Issue in Doveadm permission for public folders .

Could you please turn on debug mode in Dovecot to get some detailed/debug message? It's hard for us to help without related log. Reference: http://www.iredmail.org/docs/debug.dovecot.html

Also, it's a good idea to run "doveadm" with "-D" flag to turn on verbose logging. e.g.:

doveadm -D acl ...

Re: Issue in Doveadm permission for public folders .

It's better to try it with steps below:

*) Turn on debug mode in Dovecot. Restart Dovecot service.
*) Create a new public folder.
*) Set permission with 'doveadm -D', and save all terminal output.
*) Try to access the public folder with webmail, and verify the permission settings. Extract all log from Dovecot log file and save them in a plain text file.

We need all terminal output of 'doveadm -D', and all log in Dovecot log file.

Note: you may want to replace the real email address in log with a fake one, e.g. use 'example.com' as domain name. And there might be some plain passwords logged in Dovecot log file, replace it with a fake one, e.g. '123456'.

Re: Issue in Doveadm permission for public folders .

No error in doveadm output and dovecot log. Public Folder is supposed to work as expected.

Warning: It's too lazy that you just throw the whole big log file to me, you should extract log related to your testing then paste here, not ask me to extract it from a big log file. I will ignore these posts in the future (unless it's covered with a paid support ticket).

Re: Issue in Doveadm permission for public folders .

Hi Zhang! Appreciate your timely help and support! (Also your straightforward reply! smile . Now only i realize that i have bothered you to go thru a big file. Though, Before I took out terminal record, I logged off cleared the terminal and then i took out the file. Also I was unsure of the dovecot log file. hence i had to post it all. in future i shall make sure your workload is decreased. thanks for the continuous support and beg your pardon again!
