[Dovecot] LDA with postfix lock problem

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up dovecot as the delivery agent for postfix.  I 
configured postfix with:

mailbox_command =  = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver

In the logs I see the following error:

Sep 20 17:19:26 zalm deliver: 
open(/var/mail/.temp.zalm.8045.65c09c28953ea20c) failed: Permission denied
Sep 20 17:19:26 zalm deliver: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file 
/var/mail/rgevaert: Permission denied
Sep 20 17:19:26 zalm postfix/local[8044]: 9790BBE4A: 
to=<rgevaert at zalm.ugent.be>, relay=local, delay=0, status=deferred 
(temporary failure)

Info:

zalm:~# ls -ld /var/mail
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mail 4096 Sep 20 16:56 /var/mail

Giving o write access to the folder fixed it, but not in a way it has to 
be :)

I already added
mail_extra_groups = mail
to dovecot.conf

But this doesn't help.

What have I missed.

Thanks in advance,
