I just help someone to recover a mail server..(the orignal cannot boot.)

I setup another mail server using postifx, using Maildir storing emails in users home folder.

I just copy all the user directory to new server's home directory , recreate account and set owners / groups for each folder.

here is a question..
The orignal permission on all users directory is

drwx------

and inside the directory, the files there are -rw-r--r--
and there is a folder MailDir : drwx------


I've change all dir and sub dir to chmod -R 744
and change all dir to chmod 700


users seems still using mail server now..
but all the files inside after migrate have an "x".

Will there some problems?

x means executable. Do 'chmod -R -x *' to remove the executable bit.

This command will traverse the whole tree (-R = recursive) and remove execution bit (-x = remove execute).

IHTH

All the dir contain an "x" ..
I found that if I remove the "x" for dir, there will be some problem with webmail.

find -type f chmod go-xw {} \;


Cheers,
