Re: VIRTUAL - User Permissions and Ownership

Ok, let me try to answer this question......

The user and group who will be owner of /var/mail/vhosts, can not be the
root user.
Create a user like "vmail" and a group like "vgroup" and give the
onwership of directory for him.
On main.cf, setup:

virtual_uid_maps = static:uid_of_vuser
virtual_gid_maps = static:gid_of_vuser
