dovecot stats-writer socket permissions

[Larry Rosenman]

service stats {
  unix_listener stats-reader {
    group = mail
    mode = 0666
    user =
  }
  unix_listener stats-writer {
    group = mail
    mode = 0666
    user =
  }
}
service anvil {
  unix_listener anvil {
    group = mail
    mode = 0666
  }
}

I put those in a local.conf

    I have seen this thread about being able to run doveadm as a non-root

    What configuration is necessary so that I can set the permissions on 
    /var/run/dovecot/stats-writer socket-file so when dovecot starts my 
    virtual mail account has read/write access?
    
    I saw another page about adding
    
    service stats {
    }
    
    Although I set user, group, and permissions, it did not seem to have any 
    effect on the permissions when I restarted dovecot.
    
    Thank You.
