I've run into a problem, which I don't entirely understand. Occasionally I get this line in /var/mail.err
, although all messages seem to be saved normally (at least I think so):
dovecot: lda(<address>): Error: safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.lda.) failed: Permission denied
I understand that this permission can be adjusted manually, but I worry that something might have gone wrong with the system itself.
The only result that I could google is this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=632951, which says that it is a bug...
Some additional info:
# uname -a
Linux 3.13.0-30-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 4 21:40:53 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# dovecot --version
2.2.9
I don't know if that matters, but I am also running the system on RAID1, and it was a very fresh install of the new version of ubuntu.
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions how to solve this.
