<p>I have my postfix/dovecot virtual mail system essentially (otherwise) configured where Postfix is calling Dovecot for its virtual transport:<br />virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I can't for the life of me see how to change the file permissions dovecot uses to create maildir folders and files. I looked at the <a href="https://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#Maildir_and_filesystems">maildir</a>, <a href="https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/protocols/lmtp_server/">lmtp</a>, and other documents and they are either silent on permissions or seem to reference a <a href="https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/filesystem_permission/">shared mail permissions document</a> that claims file and folder permissions are inherited. I want all files dovecot creates to be made accessible to the mail group. Please tell me this wasn't hard-coded a la postfix.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
