I have just installed my mail server on a Ubuntu Linux V.7.10 box with sendmail and dovecot imap from the Ubuntu packages. Each time the machines boots, I get the following messages:
Starting mail server: dovecotWarning: Fixing permissions of /var/run/dovecot to be world readable Warning: Corrected permissions for login directory /var/run/dovecot/login
What Dovecot version do you have?
These probably happen because /var/run/* gets deleted when booting. Some old Dovecot versions gave these warnings at startup when it created those directories itself, but if you have v1.0.0 or newer, the problem is something else.
