Quoting Timo Sirainen :
It doesn't have to be the primary group. This is more of an Exim side
problem that it doesn't assign the supplementary groups (if it did, it
would have worked with dovecot-lda). I don't think the way you
configured Exim to call dovecot-lda is explained anywhere in Doveco

Hmmm, well in my setup dovecot-lda is called from Exim with "user="
set to a MySQL query.
Are you sure you even need Dovecot to do a userdb lookup then? If

shouldn't be necessary.
Yeah, I think I could

No, that's the least of its troubles. If you can't run dovecot-lda
as root, it won't be able to change its UID to the user's UID (and
so won't have enough permissions to be able to write mails to user's

But in the example for the config file the text reads:
