Symptoms

The "mailperm" script will not correct ownership on directories that have ‘mail’ group ownership (ownership should be user:user).

 

Description

The "mailperm" script fixes invalid permissions and ownerships on mail files and folders under a given account. Folders should not be owned by the 'mail' group, which the "mailperm" script does not correct.

We've opened an internal case for our development team to investigate this further. For reference, the case number is CPANEL-51101. Follow this article to receive an email notification when a solution is published in the product. 

 

Workaround

Manually correct ownership on any invalid directories using the "chown" command.
