I meant _setuid_ root, not owner root. You better lookup what this means on google before doing it.
Reread the instructions on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA (section Multiple UIDs). Set the group of the directory deliver is in to the same user that postfix will use to run deliver. (You appear to be using 'mail').
See the manual page of chmod to know how to set a program setuid root.

but deliver is already root ?
and master is set as
master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = mail group = mail }
root@localhost:~# ls -al /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 563112 2008-03-31 21:05 /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver root@localhost:~#
