Re: postfix, dovecot-lda, /run/dovecot/stats-writer socket permission and local user delivery, again

The most simple fix which usually works is

service stats { unix_listener stats-writer { mode = 0666 } }

Yes, that obviously works, and this is what I ended up with, for now. My question was more about how it is SUPPOSED to be set up. It is restricted for a reason. For example, it'd be nice to have it chgrp to users, - but postfix does not do initgroups() so this wont work.

And the more interesting question is why sgid dovecot-lda does not work, why it tries to setUID (to wrong value!) when it gets sticky bit?
