Timo,
I did further study of the user/group permissions. Applying the below patch will make no difference to virtually everyone out there. Those that have default uid/gid ownership won't see any change as the gid already matches so the fchown() action won't be attempted. Those that have sgid will still see the normal expected fchown() enforced by the kernel which becomes a duplicated action by dovecot. In the last case, those with an unknown 3rd party gid were used to seeing fchown() failures and those will now go away. It is only this third group that will see anything change as all other cases are already handled. Anyone who wishes to create new files with another group ID should make their directories sgid or stgid as per normal filesystem ACL semantics. The original net effect of this only turns on an fchown() that will fail and emit numerous error messages. This patch fixes that. Technically the fchown is unneccessary extra code already since any directory that is sgid or stgid will have ownership enforced by the kernel already.
I simply made it #if 0 below, the correct patch would be to delete the extraneous block.
