So, looking at my other system that has been running dovecot for over a year, I see that the entries are mostly 0600, but there are a few 0660. The system I was just implementing has mostly 0660, but some 0600. We had seen occasional similar errors on the other system.
If I change both systems so that all the directories in /var/mail are 0600, then everything will be happy?
