yes, that's the case:

/var/MailServer/Logs/dovecot  > ls -al
  total 8
  drwxrwxr-x 3 testuser testuser  102 2006-09-11 07:55 ./
  drwxrwxr-x 6 testuser testuser  204 2006-08-27 17:40 ../
  -rw------- 1 root     testuser 4871 2006-09-11 08:12 dovecot.log


my _current_ problem is, however, unless that dovecot.log is 0666, when 
i try a local delivery via exim->dovecot_lda, w/:

	exim -v -odf testuser at mail.testdomain.com

i get:

LOG: MAIN
  <testuser at mail.testdomain.com>: dovecot_lda transport output: 
deliver(testuser at mail.testdomain.com): Fatal: Can't open log file 
/var/MailServer/Logs/dovecot/dovecot.log: Permission denied

in the *exim* log ...

if i change the log's perms to 0666, then THAT error goes away.

fwiw, EXIM runs as user 'testuser' ... NOT as root.
