    Hello.

    Just migrated my company’s Mail services to Mac OS X Server this week and was surprised to find a showstopping bug in Apple’s Cyrus implementation. It seems that when Cyrus rolls its logs it chowns them to root and loses control over them. There’s a pretty long thread about the problem on Apple’s discussion section here:

    http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@224.ib4WaX3gKwU.2@.68914286

    The workarounds suggested by the posters (and Apple) seem preposterous, so I thought I’d post the problem here and see if anyone has a solution. I’ve set the suid bit on the /var/imap/db directory in the mean-time to see if that helps.

    Anyone else got any ideas?
