Re: dovecot.list.index.log owned by root: why?

That's very strange. It's not even supposed to be possible to configure Dovecot in a way that it writes to these files as root. If you look at your logs, can you see what process wrote these files at the time? imap, lmtp? Also what's your full doveconf -n output?

ltmp and imap report problems accessing files (so they seem to run as user vmail, as intended).

I am unsure how to look up which process created the files. Maybe I can do that be rm-ing them and looking at the logs.
