Hi,

I am having problems to let OpenSMTPD directly talk with dovecot via an
LMTP UNIX domain socket.

The domain socket is created with _smtpd:_smtpd 0660 permissions:

  # ls -la /var/run/dovecot/lmtp
  srw-rw---- 1 _smtpd _smtpd 0 Mar 4 12:06 /var/run/dovecot/lmtp

But somehow the smtpd process can't access it. It shows a "smtpd:
couldn't establish connection: Permission denied" in the output of
`smtpctl show queue`. It is working if I give it read/write permissions
for everyone (0666).

Which permissions should it have? I also tried to give it _smtpq:_smtpd
permissions (or root:wheel), but both failed.  I am a bit lost here
because I don't know which process opens the socket. Can someone
enlighten me? :)

Regards,

  Michael
