Dovecot as LDA from within exim -- config permissions.

[Karl Schmidt]

While running dovecot and exim on etch:

 From the digging I've done, it appears that using dovecot as the LDA is 
the preferred method.

If one enables dovecot to act as the LDA in exim, there is a need to 
change the permissions of dovecot.conf.

I've done it as outlined here in the bottom :

I'm not sure if this is the most secure way to do it or not.

Exim can specify the group that the delivery is run as so the group name 
used here could be anything. (groups considered: dovecot, mail, 
Debian-exim)

At some point, debconf will probably take care of this and some standard 
way will be needed.
