Did you configured mailertable to deliver the messages through the 
"dovecot" mailer?

I prefer:
dnl -f $g -- sender
dnl -d $u -- destination user account name
dnl -m $h -- mailbox to deliver to (+detail part of address)
dnl -n    -- don't create new mailbox
FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/etc/mail/smrsh/dovecot-deliver', 
`/etc/mail/smrsh/dovecot-deliver -e -f $g -d $u -m $h')dnl
MAILER_DEFINITIONS
MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl

Won't work with deliver, maybe only if it is SUID.

=====

If Dovecot is the only process accessing /var/mail/file, you could:

a) use another location for INBOX,
b) use flock.
