 |
|
Hello, tried running archivemail but it fails with what looks like a permission problem?
| Code: |
archivemail -d465 -s '' -o /home/mail-bak /home/sara/.maildir/.*
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 1298, in ?
main()
File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 619, in main
archive(mailbox_path)
File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 1042, in archive
_archive_dir(mailbox_name, final_archive_name, "maildir")
File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 1188, in _archive_dir
archive.finalise()
File "/usr/bin/archivemail", line 542, in finalise
shutil.copy2(self.mbox_file_name, final_name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 92, in copy2
copyfile(src, dst)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 48, in copyfile
fdst = open(dst, 'wb')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/mail-bak/..gz'
|
This was run as root, the dir /home/mail-bak is owned by root?
any ideas?
cheers

| Try running the dry run version and gradually adding the switches until you find what is breaking it. |

dry run works fine and says what it will, it only fails on actual run?
tried it with less switches
| Code: |
archivemail -d465 -o /home/mail-bak /home/sara/.maildir/.*
|
but still the same?
it seem that it fails when creating the actual archive?

| I get errors when I run with that .* on the end on mine. Not the same error you get, but it doesn't like for me. |

I tried it without .* but then it only does the inbox and not all other mail dir?

| Yep. That's what I found. I'm not sure it's smart enough to do the recursing on its own. You'll have to cook up a script to run archivemail I think. |

Ok have found that dir that archive is being created in must be writable by the users who mail is being archived, i thought that it was needed by user who was running script?
Recursive /.* works fine but you end up with archive for each mail dir in users .maildir but that is fine, in fact it is good
