From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040831 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: Dovecot can't fetch any mail (even those stored in /var/spool/mail) if user the parent of the user's home directory hasn't execute permition for group root (x - bit). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. chgrp users /home 2. chmod go-rwx /home 3. Actual Results: It is imposible to fetch any mail. Additional info: This problem is now fixed but in the test version of dovecot (e.g. dovecot-1.0-test60 - see www.dovecot.org). It can be fixed by doing not only setreuid(gid, gid) (in file mail-process.c) but first first setregid(gid, gid) have to be done. Now after setreuid(gid, gid) is executed user still belongs to the group root.
