Hello, I’m currently trying to set up an email server with the help of emailwiz, but I’m encountering issues with OpenDKIM not being able to access key files.

Permissions of the key folder (in /etc/postfix/dkim/):

drw-r----- 2 opendkim opendkim 4096 Jul 30 19:45 magmaus3.eu.org

Key permissions:

-rw-r----- 1 opendkim opendkim 1679 Jul 30 19:45 mail.private
-rw-r----- 1 opendkim opendkim  505 Jul 30 19:45 mail.txt

And when trying to open the files as opendkim, I get Permission denied errors.

    What are the rights of the directories? (dkim and postfix directory)

    I see only r for group, not other, so I’m expecting /etc/postfix to be 750 as well for group postfix. (is opendkim user member of that group?) You need 751 (x for other on dir) to be able to get to directories in that directory.

    Maybe you can compare to what mailcow or docker-mailserver provide to their users.
