I tried several suggestions on the postfix mailing list - but
perhaps
the best one was from Weitse to ask here.... Any help ? Ideas ?
Directions ?
Did you read the note at the beginning of maildrop's INSTALL file,
and
do you understand what it tells you to do?
======================
According to "less" 6 % into the file, where it starts "NOTE:" and
"Your mail server must..." I have read, and re-read that section
several times. If that's what you're referencing, Sam, then I'm
missing what I skipped. I used the same socket as mysql, mysql.sock,
and the thw whole world right now could destroy it. I'm willing to
wear
the dunce's pointy cap...what did I miss ?
The socket in question has nothing to do with mysql.
That note gives you three options to choose from. Which one did you
choose?
======================
I thought that "--enable-maildrop-uid=root" accomplished the
first option
Only partially. It does set the ownership of the maildrop binary, but does
not turn on the setuid and setgid bit. It used to do that, but that was
taken out a number of versions ago.
The 2nd option - "setuid root" I don't know how to set that on this
distro, so I tried "chown root maildrop" obviously without luck
chown only changes the ownership. chmod changes the permission bits, and
every UNIX system in the world does it the same way: chmod u+s
