Hi.

Am Donnerstag, 1. November 2007 schrieb Enda Cronnolly:

I have an email account that nobody mails me on, so I just tested this. What I done was chmod -R root.root on the homedirectory for the account, and then sent an email from my account to it. No bounce, here are the logs:

Nov 1 14:48:26 mail courierlocal: id=002A85E5.4729E73A.0000382A,from=<enda@co....com>,addr=<enda@cr....com>: maildrop: Home directory owned by wrong user. Nov 1 14:48:26 mail courierlocal: id=002A85E5.4729E73A.0000382A,from=<enda@co....com>,addr=<enda@cr....com>,s tatus: deferred

I think this is a completely different situation.

I don't know what you really did when you say "chmod -R root.root", What I mean is "chmod 700" (still correct owner) and then mail from the outside world to a nonexistant address.

In this case, existant addresses still work like a charm, but nonexistant addresses get identified *after* smtp dialog and therefore get bounced.

But as I said in the other mail: I don't use maildrop.

This is perfectly acceptable and how it should be. You're just not catching the logs..... SO ..... this whole thing is a non issue.

No, the thing is that you have a completely different setup.

cu, Bernd
