New Account Creation - Mail problem

We recently upgraded our WHM/cPanel to 9.9.7/9.9.8-R5 and now we are having problems when creating new accounts.

The problem is that when a new account is created, the mail/inbox does not have the proper permissions. It has 644 instead of 660 or 664. In essence, the inbox isn't writable by mail, and therefore exim cannot deliver emails to that user.

Is anyone else having this problem? or know of a solution?

thanks.

 

Well, I don't know what has happened, but it appears to be working now. We were looking at the wwwacct script, and wrote in some logging statements to see if it was doing what it was supposed to, and all of a sudden the permissions on new mail accounts were set correctly. We removed the logging lines that we added, and it's still working, so I don't know what the problem was, but it seems to be fixed

I'll let you know if it happens again though.

Another problem we're having though deals with virtual email accounts. Whenever a virtual email user creates a new folder, the group ID isn't being set correctly.

Here is the problem.

UserA has UID = 1 and GID = 1 (for example)
if UserA_1 (virtual email user) creates an email folder, the new folder has UID=1 and GID=1

UserB has UID = 2 and GID = 3
If UserB_1 creates an email folder, the new folder has UID = 2 and GID = 2

It seems that the IMAP server is created the folders with GID=UID rather than determining the user's GID.

pretty complex problem and it took us a while to figure out what it was doing, but there it is. Any suggestions?

 

This looks like the problem I'm having here:
