Greetings,

I'm using an IMAP mailserver with dovecot which is entirely limited to my
local network.
It pulls my external mail with fetchmail.
There is no functional problem with the setup just this concern.
I can't manage to get around this:

/usr/libexec/security:
"# Mailboxes should be owned by the user and unreadable. "

but after the installation of dovecot i get this:

Running security(8):

Checking mailbox ownership.
user vmail mailbox is -rw-r--r--, group vmail
user username1@foodomain.local.fantasea mailbox is owned by vmail
user username2@foodomain.local.fantasea mailbox is owned by vmail
user username3@foodomain.local.fantasea mailbox is owned by vmail

Obviously dovecot has other ideas about security than OpenBSD. Dovecot seems
to require these mailboxes to be owned by vmail.
Can I remedy this (then: how?) or should I go on to ignore this warning?

Thank you for your time
