Have you set up some kind of setuid-root deliver, or why is it running as root:dovecot here instead of spam:dovecot?

3. Deliver assumes 'user1:dovecot' identity
4. Can't access auth-master in 'root:dovecot' directory (777)

4. happens before 3).

So it's 'auth-master' that is (a) not available to 'user1' AND (b) not available to group 'dovecot'. Huh? Why not?

My guess is that deliver isn't really started with dovecot group permission.
