I don't use Sendmail myself so I can't really comment on its configuration.
However the issue looks like a typical mismatch of UIDs on the socket:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail
As per the link above you could try running 'chown mail' on the LDA. This
will match the ID to the 'userdb' socket unix_listener (user = mail):
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root secmail 26512 Aug 18 2011
/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
srw-------. 1 mail root 0 Jan 1 08:39
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
Good Luck

I have changed the permissions to the following:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 mail secmail 26512 Aug 18 2011
/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda
srw-rw-rw-. 1 mail secmail 0 Jan 1 09:41 /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
Then I get this error (steve is who the email is addressed to):
Jan 01 09:43:47 lda(steve): Fatal: setgid(501(steve)) failed with
euid=0(root), gid=0(root), egid=0(root): Operation not permitted (This
binary should probably be called with process group set to 501(steve)
instead of 0(root))
Thanks,
Steve
