Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1:1.0.12-1
Severity: important

the default configuration file supplied by the package includes

# Grant access to these extra groups for mail processes. Typical use would be
# to give "mail" group write access to /var/mail to be able to create dotlocks.
# The dovecot processes get these groups' privileges in addition to the dovecot
# ones; the list of groups must be separated by spaces.
#mail_extra_groups =
mail_extra_groups = mail

however, dovecot complains on startup about

yucs:/etc/dovecot# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotWarning: mail_extra_groups
setting was often used insecurely so it is now deprecated, use
mail_access_groups or mail_privileged_group instead

it would appear the default configuration should be changed
