Hi,
Thanks Asheesh, Timo reported a problem (lost his e-mail by mistake during my testing!) with the 1.0.1 deliver's chroot handling, which meant it had changed in 1.0.5, hence the inconsistencies in my setup.
As advised on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA (under Multiple UIDs) I moved deliver into a different directory, made it setuid root, and only the MTA user can get into that directory, works a treat!
Thanks guys,
Andy

Only programs running as UID 0 (root) are allowed to use the chroot system call. Does your use of chroot() for deliver represent something new in your config, or if not, in the way Dovecot interprets your config?
