Edit your 10-master.conf and make sure that the user specified in the
details below matches the dovecot user:


service stats {
  unix_listener stats-writer {
      user = mailnull
  }
  unix_listener stats-reader {
      user = mailnull
  }

Sorry, i am confused. There is no similar clock in 10-master.conf

In fact,. the string "stats" does not appear in that file at all. The
commented line

#default_internal_user = dovecot 

is in that file, and that is the dovecot user (as seen in the permissions
above).

Should I add

service stats {
  unix_listener stats-writer {
      user = dovecot
  }
  unix_listener stats-reader {
      user = dovecot
  }
}

to my dovecot.conf file?

Add the two blocks to 10-master.conf, before the last "}"

My dovecot runs as user mailnull. YMMV.

I did this and it appears to have fixed the issue.

Also, the failed message strongly implies that the email was not delivered,
since it happens on the delivery log line and there is not indication in the log
that delivery succeeded. However, the message is delivered. It might be worth
changing the message or still logging the actual message delivery?
