So, I've just written to the Dovecot mailing list, the reality why Dovecot
is complaining is so much worse than anything I could have imagined. While
everything indicates Dovecot is able to write to the log files, it seems
Dovecot expects execution permissions on the directory it writes the logs
to. Because "Standard POSIX permissions for a non-root process to enter a
directory." How on earth is that even a thing? Beyond binaries there
shouldn't really be any excuse for that many things to have execution
permissions on anything.
