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?

I WILL NOT CARVE GODS Bart chalkboard Ep. 8F11

This is what fixed mine 

 service stats {
# unix_listener stats-reader {
#     group #     mode = 0666
#     user #   }
   unix_listener stats-writer {
     group = dovecot
     mode = 0666
     user    }
  }

I use dovecot-lda for deliveries and would see entries in both Exim (MTA)
and Dovecot log files.

Setting permissions to 666 never seems like a great idea.

But I been sane a long while now, and change is good.

One last thing:

<https://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3> does not mention that stats is
now required. I ignored the entire block on that page on stats because I'd
never used it.

I guess it's that 'statistics' is kinda built-in now. So it's
not like a plugin anymore. But I get your point, maybe we should clarify this
