Re: [Dovecot] auth-master socket access

Is there any solution to the /var/run/dovecot/auth-master access restrictions, prohibiting the user running dovecot-deliver from communicating with the master (aside from the dirty and unsafe hack to reset the permissions of the /var/run/dovecot dir after starting dovecot)?

RTFWiki: Put the auth-master socket into another directory and write this path into dovecot-lda.conf.

Setting suid on the deliver binary should also help, but it does not work and it seems to me that it's not designed for such usage.
