dovecot - Feb 2018 - stats-writer failed: Permission denied

Hi there!

Since i compile my own dovecot (not using dovecot from debian), i get 
this error on each startup dovecot with systemd

Feb 07 11:16:35 aldebaran dovecot[7455]: imap: Error: 
net_connect_unix(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: 
Permission denied
Feb 07 11:16:35 aldebaran dovecot[7455]: imap: Error: 
net_connect_unix(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: 
Permission denied


I can change the owner and/or permissions of the file, than it works 
till the next reboot.

How can i set this correctly in my configs?

Some googling didn't give me results for this error.

check out something like:

service stats {
   fifo_listener stats-mail {
     user = vmail
     mode = 0600
   }
}
