QMail/Imap - Plesk 9.2/Suse 11.1 - Permission denied Maildir

[JensP]

Hello,

after upgrading from Suse 10 (incl. Plesk 9.2) to 11.1 with Plesk (9.2) there seams to be a problem in the mail configuration. Mails seams to be arrived but authentication with IMAP or POP3 is not possible. In /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog there occurs:

2009-09-12T19:07:30.640962+02:00 h1012927 imapd: IMAP connect from @ [127.0.0.1]chdir "/var/qmail/mailnames/domain.net/username": Permission denied

I used the Plesk backup utility to backup my mails and settings, but there were some problems during restoring. Therefore I have copied some Maildirs manually, maybe there is a problem with permissions right now? Is the following ok?

drwxrwx--- 12 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 21:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 12. Sep 03:36 ..

drwxrwx--- 3 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 21:12 spamdyke
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 12. Sep 18:28 users

How has the mailnames pemissions to be? Currently the belong to popuser and group. I have runned /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk with no errors, also the auth_view tool shows me the correct users and settings.

It seams that auhtpsa is responsible for authentication, maybe it has no acces to the maidirs? Is there a special setting under wich the courier tries to access the mail directories?

The poppasswd describes in http://kb.odin.com/en/956 /var/qmail/users/ doesn not exists at my machine but the file assign (with correct domains, users, uids und gids) and cdb. Is the poppasswd still needed in 9.2?

any ideas? best wishes.
