I'm trying to get dovecot to work as an LDA with dspam; so I can run the 
dspam dovecot plugin for drag and drop spam/ham learning. Here is my 
config info:

dovecot-sql config:
driver = mysql
password_query = SELECT password, 1011 AS uid, 1011 AS gid FROM users 
WHERE userid = '%u'
user_query = SELECT 1011 AS uid, 1011 AS gid FROM users WHERE userid = '%u'

dspam.conf (for delivery):
TrustedDeliveryAgent "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d %u"
UntrustedDeliveryAgent "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d %u"
QuarantineAgent "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d %u -m Junk

The error I get when running /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -c 
dovecot.conf -d username

My virtual users directory (/usr/local/virtual) is chowned vmail:vmail 
is chmodded 0777 for testing purposes.

My question is, how can I get this to work? What is the "Sep 19 22:55:57 
pelorus deliver(support): chdir(/root) failed: Permission denied"error 
from? Why doesn't the deliver work? Any help, input, or suggestions 
would be greatly appreciated.
