It's not complaining about base_dir's permissions, but auth-userdb socket's permissions. See:
service auth { # auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically # used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default # permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to relax these # permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a list # of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups. unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0600 #user = #group = }
Maybe you want to set "user = vmail" or something.
Thanks Timo!
Problem solved.
