Hello,

I'm struggling with figuring out what users and groups are at play with getting Maildrop to deliver messages to my Courier IMAP shared folder collection.

When I have my folder collection set as such:

drwxr-x--- 6 vmail mygroup 512 Dec 13 01:30 .Joe

I want every user in the group "mygroup" to be able to read this shared mailbox, and I want maildrop, which according to my Postfix master.cf file is running as user "vmail":

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}

to be able to write to this mailbox. I'm delivering mail to this folder based on a maildrop rule set, NOT as myself, so "chown joe"ing the directory won't work with my rule set - I imagine that I would only want to be the owner of this directory if it was delivered straight there unaffected by my maildrop rules?

I don't want this folder to be world readable or world writable obviously, but as it stands, Maildrop will only deliver to this folder when "everybody" has writable permission. I've tried just about every combination of permission set that I can think of. What permissions need to be assigned here to do what I want? What am I missing here?
