The subject came up in the course of bug #693114 which in a nutshell is caused by dovecot by default copying the permissions of the users mailbox in /var/mail for indexes in the users home directory. Naturally, this fails when the user is not a member of group mail.

What is the reason for mailboxes to be owned by group mail when in Debian we have per-user groups and AFAIK no daemons or other system processes belong to the mail group?
