after migrating a user from another vestacp server i can't create new email accounts for a user.
the accounts are created fine, but the inbox folder structure is not created and when the new account receives an email the maillog shows the following error:
Code: Select all
[email protected] R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (13): Permission denied: while opening or reading /home/user/mail/domain.com/user/maildirsize

Can you check the permission of the folder?
CentOS example:
Code: Select all
cd /home/username/mail/domainname.com
ls -la
total 16
drwxrwx--- 4 username mail 4096 Jan 31 2015 .
drwxr-x--x 4 root root 4096 Jan 29 2015 ..
drwxrwx--- 12 username mail 4096 Nov 20 07:45 info
drwx------ 5 username mail 4096 Jan 31 2015 webmaster
cd info
ls -la
total 1064
drwxrwx--- 12 username mail 4096 Nov 20 07:45 .
drwxrwx--- 4 username mail 4096 Jan 31 2015 ..
drwxrwx--- 2 username mail 73728 Nov 20 07:21 cur

I have noticed an inconsistency in the emailaccounts owners. changed owner of emailaccount1 to user and it started working.
thank you
