[Dovecot] setgid fails

[Anil]

Oh, I came across that URL before but I skipped some of those steps
about running as non-root.
Because, I was thinking my sendmail is running as root:

# ps -ef |grep sendmail
   smmsp  8335 22869   0 17:54:58 ?           0:00 /usr/lib/sendmail -Ac -q15m
    root  8333 22869   0 17:54:58 ?           0:01 /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q15m

I am not sure if the smmsp comes into play here? Doesn't smmsp in
sendmail have more to do with mingling with the queue?

What uid does sendmail change to when doing deliver, if the uid's are
not system users in my dovecot implementation?
