Note 1:
In dovecot, we made a special user vmail, as suggested/best-practice, for dovecot-lda mail delivery. But note, this
must also be the user slimta downgrades to when running as MDA. It's not good enough to set file group permissions that seem sufficient
(e.g., by putting a slimta downgrade user and the vmail user both in an "mta" group, or whatever) - the socket dovecot creates is owned
