I think is apt install dovecot on debian buster probably I updated yesterday but was working OK since so I dunno what happened. is log full or something ?
you can fix this with
service stats { unix_listener stats-writer { mode = 077 } }
But why is this needed? Something has changed. It used to work without the socket being owned by the user running 'deliver'.
I just ran into this on FreeBSD after a package update, so it's not just Debian.
