When files are put into the /var/spool/relay-ctrl/allow, directory based on IP address they are put in with the permissions of the user who made the pop3 request to the server, so that if anyone else tries to write or read from the file they are denied access, this is what the perms look like: drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 272 Jun 14 15:39 . drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 96 Jun 14 12:04 .. -rw------- 1 lkeith users 12 Jun 14 15:21 220.51.26.28 -rw------- 1 chadk users 11 Jun 14 15:39 219.173.37.194 -rw------- 1 toms users 10 Jun 14 15:37 67.114.226.162 -rw------- 1 mminor users 12 Jun 14 15:38 69.243.222.248 -rw------- 1 dave users 10 Jun 14 15:39 60.144.192.8 -rw------- 1 gishihara users 15 Jun 14 15:17 62.167.38.175 -rw------- 1 efax1 users 11 Jun 14 15:34 63.167.63.95 In order for me to sort of get relay-ctrl to work I had to do chmod a+s to the relay-ctrl-check command so that it could read the indivual files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I haven't tried a fresh install but just upgrade to relay-ctrl-3.1.1-r2 and it didn't really help matters any. Expected Results: I expect the individual IP files to be owned by a single user, I haven't found very much documentation on this so I don't really even know what user it should be.
The files should come out as mode 666 and owned by the user that they represent. Do you use a weird umask or something?
My umask is set to 22, I believe this is normal.
Is this still an issue?
