I've recently switched to LMTP as I'm now using mdbox. However since
switching, mails sent to the root account do not get delivered due to the
following error:
May 1 18:20:17 Server1 postfix/lmtp[13019]: CAEE91F851: to=<r...@test.com>,
relay=mail.test.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=1097,

said: 451 4.3.0 <r...@test.com> Invalid user settings. Refer to server log
for more information. (in reply to RCPT TO command))
This setting:
first_valid_uid = 1010
will need to be changed to "0", or better yet, as others have suggested,
alias root to some user with UID within 1010..1020.
The dovecot logs that you ought to see will be something like
May 1 16:12:11 viol dovecot: lda: Error: user root: Mail access
for users with UID 0 not permitted (see first_valid_uid
in config file, uid from userdb lookup).
