Thanks for your help. I suspected as much. I use procmail as the LDA.

I've compiled the latest release candidate of dovecot and I am encountering a strange problem when mail is delivered. I have my installation configured to use Maildir. When messages arrive, they are placed in the correct user directory, but the ownership for individual messages is set to root and the group set to mail.

What delivers the mails to maildir? You're not using Dovecot LDA because Dovecot doesn't create filenames like this. So your problem really has nothing to do with Dovecot, but rather the configuration of your MTA or mail delivery agent.
