Description Thomas Spuhler 2013-04-18 19:10:49 CEST 
Description of problem:
mail is not being delivered using cyrus-imap
The logs show this error: 'connect to /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp: Permission denied
/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp has all the permission in can get and this is what the how-to's  require.
Adding postfix to the mail group solved the problem.
I couldn't figure out why it doesn't work the way the current settings are, but we seem not to be the only ones
