248 is a dovecot, 202 is dovenull, both users are in theirs groups across. If I change ownership of /usr/local/dovecot to dovecot.dovecot, then dovecot is correcting it to root.root for some reason. Does it mean that dovecot should be running as root only?

you do not seem to run a root-less system, see https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless (I never tried it).

What does it mean / here? is it / in filesystem or it is / for dovecot in /usr/local/dovecot ?

I suppose "/" refers to the login subdir in your base_dir drwxr-x--- 2 root dovenull 4096 Sep 10 2016 /var/run/dovecot2.2/login//

The login processes seem to chroot there. This dir would match the permissions described in the error message and your info that 202 is dovenull.

In fact, the login processes are to run as another user (dovenull), if you do not run without root at all, in order to increase security by separated privilege levels. I would drop the "user = dovecot" lines.

I guess, you need to rephrase the subject in order to catch the attention of somebody else. But, what's your intention?

May 01 14:36:00 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=37695 uid=0 code=kill) this was caused by restarting of Dovecot.

I thought the "reload" message reads something different.

Unfortunately I am getting following error in DoveCot log instead:

May 01 14:35:41 managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=248() egid=248() missing +x perm: /, we're not in group 202, dir owned by 0:202 mode=0750) May 01 14:35:41 managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=248(<unknown>) egid=248(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /, we're not in group 202, dir owned by 0:202 mode=0750)

this error is pretty clear:

Directory "/" cannot be accessed by user 248:248

looks like a chroot'ed environment? Anyway, either:

• the accessing user ID of 248:248 is wrong,
• the owning user 0:202 is wrong or
• the access permissions should include "chmod o+x /"

...

May 01 14:36:00 master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=37695 uid=0 code=kill)

This shouldn't happen.
