I think not, it's a new mailbox... and I have 2 mailbox to do this
test (tiagocruz and tiago)

No, is too small... only test messages from a new postfix.

tiagocruz owner and mail is grup, not permission to others. But I've
tried with "chmo 777" too and not works... :-(

It's one VM that i've created to do this test....
