James,

Which MTA do you use? It must be a permission problem. So how did you configure email2trac:

trac_user and mta_user.

Regards

I'm sorry, I'm fairly new to trac. I've searched the email2trac and
trac docs and can't find any references to trac_user or mta_user.

as far as the mta goes, we are using qmail. The relevant alias was:

dummy@strangecode.com -> '|/usr/bin/run_email2trac --project=dummy'

as a work around the alias was changed to:

dummy@strangecode.com -> '|sudo -u apache /usr/bin/email2trac
--project=dummy'

which seems to work.

Did you read the email2trac docs. mta_user is the userid of qmail and trac_user is the userid of apache. You have to specify it with the configure script of email2trac. Then run_email2trac will switch from the qmail userid to the apache userid.

Is this the URL for the current docs?
https://subtrac.sara.nl/oss/email2trac/wiki/Email2tracConfiguration
because I don't see those options anywhere on that page.

I think you have to start with the installation manual :-):

Ah, that looks like it might be the problem. We used the RPM build method so I didn't read the rest of it very carefully. Thanks.
