I recently experienced strange errors in mailq :
[root@numenor ~]# mailq
-Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
56BF31C9391 2320 Fri Jul 18 03:42:33 i...@quora.com
(temporary failure. Command output: lda(postfix): Error:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission
denied)
post...@groumpf.org
All other messages are getting in without error.
Furthermore these are probably spam which shouldn't get in, since
postfix@ is not in the authorized recipients
When it happens, it is always spam for postfix@
Any idea ?
this is common issue on dovecot's side. Delivery agent needs
permission to write to dovecot sockets:

Hi, Mathus
Here is the relevant part of dovecot config :
service stats {
unix_listener stats-reader {
user = $default_internal_user
group = $default_internal_user
mode = 0660
}
unix_listener stats-writer {
user = $default_internal_user
group = $default_internal_user
mode = 0660
}
}
