Create the user dovenull!
Dovecot uses two system users for internal purposes now by default:
"dovenull" and "dovecot". You need to create the
"dovenull" user or
change default_login_user setting. "dovenull" user is used by
completely
untrustworthy processes, while "dovecot" user is used for slightly
more
trusted processes.
If you want to be using something else than "dovecot" as the other
user,
you need to change default_internal_user setting.
Just like with "dovecot" user, "dovenull" doesn't need a
password, home
directory or anything else (but it's good to give it its own private
"dovenull" group).
