I'd like to use deliver (dovecot-1.2.10) as LDA to deliver mails to my local users on my postfix-system.
However, deliver tries to copy the filesystem permissions of the mail-spool-files to the user's index files, which doesn't work, since the files in /var/mail/ belong to the group 'mail'.

Is there any workaround?
Hm, what about a 'better solution'? Using Maildir. [...] Dovecot: dovecot.conf² mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
Unfortunately switching from mbox to maildir is not an option.
Btw. I don't see the solution. If the inbox is still /var/mail/<user> and is still group-owned by "mail", dovecot will still have the same problems cloning the group-permissions to ~/Maildir.
