At startup I get the following warning: "Warning: Fixing permissions of /var/dovecot to be world-readable."
Q: Is this something that I can/should fix, or can it be safely ignored?
When Dovecot prints this message it has corrected the issue already. The OpenBSD port was creating /var/doveocot with permissions of 0700 instead of 0755, as it should be. I fixed the port 3 days ago.
If 0755 is what it should be, then you are correct:
$ ls -l /var ... drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Aug 1 01:30 dovecot ...
On a different topic: I also had an issue with the default file locks; I had to change: From: #mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl To: mbox_write_locks = fcntl
I got this change from a blog that turned up in a Google search.
I also fixed the example config that is installed by the port to use fcntl for the mbox write locking method.
