Do you mean to don’t write some E-Mail to root@xolat.games? 🤔

But there’s the problem, if you mean this! I was try to write to hello@xolat.games, and I’ve already made separated user on my server for this, and have add it to mail group. But, despite on this, I guess that it still tries to put something to root user 🤷‍♂️

Try emailing a non-root user. It should write to the inbox. I mean, without your Dovecot configs, I can’t tell if there’s anything else wrong with them, but from the errors it seems Dovecot would work if not for the permissions errors.

But what’s the configs do you need? 🤔 Dovecot has about 20 separated configuration files! Do I will need to put each of them? 🤔

You can, but most email servers redirect mail to root@xolat.games to some other user eg xolatgames@xolat.games. The root user usually does not have their own inbox.

I’m not sure why hello is trying to write to /home/root then, that’s your problem. Do you have any Postfix aliases set up? Check /etc/postfix/aliases (there’s a chance it’s in a different location; the output of postconf alias_maps will tell you where it is).

But what’s the configs do you need? 🤔 Dovecot has about 20 separated configuration files! Do I will need to put each of them?

Just post the output of doveconf -n. Redact any sensitive info.

Cool thing, btw! 👍 Didn’t know that I can do this 😁
