Depending on how deliver is being run, chown the logs to the user that runs deliver or put all of the uid's it might run as (i.e. all mail users) into a group and chgrp the logs to that group with 660 permissions.

Dunno why... In config there isn't nothing to do so. deliver isn't normally run as root, unless you've made it setuid-root. So the log files and the auth-master socket need to be writable by the user who runs deliver (as defined in Postfix's master.cf). (Of course the user running deliver also needs to have access to all users' mails. If you're using system users you'll need to make deliver setuid-root.) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Dunno why... In config there isn't nothing to do so. Any suggestion? The auth-master permission problem is different, but the configuration you provided does not give enough information to identify a certain solution. It does imply that you have not followed the relevant documentation for using the LDA: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix You need to make sure that whatever user you are running *deliver* as (which is a function of your postfix config) has read/write access to the master socket, which has its user, group, and permissions set by the dovecot config.
