IMAP: "canīt create procmail file" error message
Support knowledgebase (hacht_imap_imapwadm_cant_create_procmail)
Applies to
SuSE Imap-Server: Version 1.0
Symptom:
In the "imapwadm" webinterface when trying to implement mail filters, the
error message
"canīt create procmail file"
appears.
Reason:
Most likely the "Security Settings" in YaST have been set to 'easy'. In
the file /etc/permissions.easy (around line 30) the program
'setuidperl' has been set with the wrong access permissions.
You can verify this as follows:
# ll /usr/bin/suidperl
rechner:~ > ll /usr/bin/suidperl
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 625350 Nov 6 16:52 /usr/bin/suidperl
Solution:
Change the rights on that file with this command:
# chmod 4755 /usr/bin/suidperl
And modify the following lines in the file /etc/permissions.easy from this:
---------------------snip----------------------------------
/usr/bin/suidperl root.root 755
#/usr/bin/suidperl root.root 4755
---------------------snap----------------------------------
to this:
---------------------snip----------------------------------
#/usr/bin/suidperl root.root 755
/usr/bin/suidperl root.root 4755
---------------------snap----------------------------------
