[Bug 194134] Re: Can't deliver emails on cyrus-imapd, lmtpd permissions

[Jan Pfeifer]

hi Daniel,

when i upgraded to 8.10 (from 8.04), 3 weeks ago, i got hundreds of the
following error in my procmail log:

Wed Nov 12 13:27:02 2008
couldn't connect to lmtpd: Permission denied
421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd

i had forgotten about this bug report, so i didn't took note of what i
did to fix it this time.

i just noticed though that after upgrading cyrus this Wednesday -- just
before leaving work -- i got the same problem again (i noticed on the
logs).

This time i fixed by doing:

$ sudo chmod a+rx /var/run/cyrus/socket/

I'm not sure how sensitive (security-wise) are the socket files therein.
So i'm not sure if this solution would be preferred to my previous
suggestion of chmod'ing a+s /usr/sbin/cygdeliver.

there has to be some safe way of a normal user to deliver email
fetched/filtered by fetchmail/procmail. I'm not sure what is the correct
way to do this with cyrus though.

cheers!
- jan
