I can't figure out the settings for the log file to have the correct permissions. When the log file is created, it is created owned by root and 0600 permissions, which doesn't allow the lda to write to it if I use different users and groups for that main config...
Right.
If I then chmod the log file to 666, then everything is happy, but again, if that log file is removed and created by dovecot, it will create it back with 0600 and the lda will error and not deliver mail because of it...
Right.
I was not able to find anywhere else to set the mode of the log files or the mask that is used...
There is none. Why are you deleting the log file?
Another possibility would be to have lda log into a different file http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#logging
