[dovecot fail to delvier mail with "lda(xxxxx): Fatal: Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup)]

Maybe as a stupid question but config files with the .ext on the end are ignored right?
like in /etc/dovecot dovecot-sql.conf and dovecot-sql.conf.ext

[dovecot fail to delvier mail with "lda(xxxxx): Fatal: Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup)]

What does that error messages mean "Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup)"?

And how to fix it? What value has to be set for first_valid_gid ?

[dovecot fail to delvier mail with "lda(xxxxx): Fatal: Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup)]

Sorry I forgot to mention that the os is OpenSUSE Leap 15.5. 
My local I mean sending email that ar hosted on that server and outside means sending email to an mailbox that is not part of this server like gmx.de or web.de

 

[dovecot fail to delvier mail with "lda(xxxxx): Fatal: Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup)]

After some radon changes using the lets encrypt script from https://certbot.eff.org/ to create my HTTP secret. It looks like some changes happened also on the email configuration.

I failed to download email via impa and pop3 also Raoundcube fail  to use also imap with a local user.

Now I have this error message that means?

 fail to delvier mail with "lda(xxxxx): Fatal: Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup)

or

Error: Mail access for users with GID 2000 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup).

I checked all the files configuration in /etc/dovecot/conf.d looks fine

BTW; I ca send email out to an extern email. Postfix does the jon. If I try to send ir local it fails in the part of dovecot to save it down into the right foleser /ser/customers/mail folder .

the owner and group of the mail folder and subfolder are owned by vmail:vamail  user and gid = 2000

ll /srv/customers/mail/ -d

mc:/etc/dovecot # grep vmail /etc/group

Has anyone an idea how to get the email with Forxlor working again.

Hi,

did build the latest Froxlor 0.9.18 for openSUSE in the build Service,

 

the changed the filter to find home:project packages

 

the packages could be found at:

 

http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=froxlor&baseproject=ALL〈=de&include_home=true

 

 

Dear froxlor team could you be so kind to change your download link to that?

 

Best Regards

 

Andrej

[Release: Froxlor 0.9.13.1]

The suse packages are just build should be available in half an hour.

[Advertising, fund-raising and other - Whats your opinion?]

I would prefer not pay a monthly fee, but could be an pay version with some extras which are for some people interesting.

 

You could also think to add some adds on the administration panel e.g google addsense.

so user / admins could click on it and you will get some money for it.

 

Or add there a donate-button there.

 

Ask some server providers to donate e.g 1und1, Hetzner, IP-X, serverloft, euserv etc. they could do some howto install for customers.

 

A gift shop would be nice e.g some cups T-shirts penguins, lamps, mouses etc.
