Hi all,
I’ve migrated recently my server from CentOS 6.5 to CentOS 7.1 and I’m using Virtualmin Pro 4.18. All is working well except for one of the email accounts. When I try to loggin with it dovecot shows the following errors in maillog:
dovecot: pop3(mteznavarropayaabogados@domain.com): Error: user mteznavarropayaabogados@domain.com: Initialization failed: Namespace ‘’: mkdir(/home/domain.com/homes/mteznavarroÿ ª ýv/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=1719(mteznavarropayaabogados@domain.com) egid=622(domain.com) missing +w perm: /home/domain.com/homes, dir owned by 1655:622 mode=0755): 1 Time(s)

As you can see the account path gets cut at “mteznavarro” and then it adds weird characters or parts of other email accounts.
I tried to delete and recreate the account, but the problem persists. I tried to create an account with a different name as long as this one and there wasn’t any problem. I looked at the passwd file and the account’s paths looks correct.
Any ideas what I can check?
Thanks,
Robert
