[Dovecot] Dovecot deliver agent - dovecot.conf permissions
I started playing with deliver, and saw a permission error in the logs for dovecot.conf. Under my distro install, /etc/dovecot.conf was installed owner/group root, with only user rw rights. I added "other" read privileges and deliver is happy - is this necessary?

For now, yea. Or of course if you can change its user/group to same
as what runs deliver.

yea, but I have the same issue with log files ... and I don't like to make the logs readable by anyone not being root ... It's impossible to run the deliver in postfix without changing the logs owner ???

If you really want to avoid that, it's also possible to run deliver as setuid-root. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
Or you could use syslog and just make /dev/log writable to everyone.
