Hm, this could similarly solve some of the mailman issues... is it possible to for postfix to use the already existing mail user ids (mailnull, mail, etc.?) I don't know mailman but I think many mail components and subsystems depend on having a common group in their security scheme. Concerning postfix I think it's good to not change the users/groups to which the package belongs as a default. It may break some of the security features, that's why I just add postfix as an additional member of the mail group. Done in 1.1.7-2 |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-6.2.16 i686) Description of problem: Postfix should be member of the group mail. The problem is that delivery via lmtp to for example cyrus imapd does not work. Most mail related packages are at least members of group mail and have appropriately secured sockets. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install postfix 2. use alternatives to activate postfix 3. change lmtp to nonroot in master.cf Actual Results: postfix can not deliver mail via lmtp because the socket is in a directory with user cyrus, group mail and perm 0750. Expected Results: postfix should be able to deliver via lmtp. Additional info: In my own RPMs I have this in %pre: /usr/sbin/useradd -c "Postfix MTA" -d %{queue_directory} -G mail \ -M -s /bin/true -u %{postfix_uid} -r %{_postuser} 2> /dev/null || : /usr/sbin/groupadd -g %{postdrop_gid} -r %{_postdrop} 2> /dev/null || :
