dovecot.conf
-------------
login_user = dovecot
protocol lda {
  log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
  info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
}


You must run /usr/sbin/dovecot as root
The permissions of /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log are 666 (because the 
process write as "authenticate user")
The permissions of /var/log/dovecot.log are 600 (because the process 
write as root)
