[Dovecot] setgid failed - Not owner

[Andreas Schulze]

in master.cf you said postfix to run deliver as user dovecot.
deliver then ask sql and get the info to stote the mail as uid 12345

deliver has to run setuid root to do that.

see http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#Multiple_UIDs

or you can change master.cf to
  dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=12345:12345
    argv=/var/postfix/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient)

if all have the same uid.
