From my 'master.cf' file:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
-f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop}

From 'main.cf' file: (snippet)

virtual_gid_maps = static:1002
virtual_minimum_uid = 100
virtual_transport = dovecot
virtual_uid_maps = static:1002

Obviously, I have that user:

pw showuser 1002
vmail:*:1002:1002::0:0:Virtual Mail User:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

My log file is has 0600 permissions and its owner/group is 'vmail'.
