Default permissions problem

Hello,

I try to run postfix with virtual users. But when I use fetchmail to
poll the ISP mailbox, I have this message in /var/log/mail.info

----
Jul 6 09:52:38 antares postfix/smtpd[6936]: warning: dict_nis_init: NIS

----

altaiire.fr is my virtual domain, toto@altaiire.fr a virtual user, and
/var/mail/vhosts/altaiire.fr the directory where mail have to be stored.

If I fetch mail for a real user on my system, it works fine.

Please Help! :)

Thanks

Default Re: permissions problem (fixed)

hi,

I've just found the problem: i didn't create the user and group with uid
and gid corresponding to virtual_uid/gid_maps in main.cf... RTFM! ;)
