What user/group does dovecot_virtual_delivery run as? Change the stats-writer
socket's owner to be that user. For example:
service stats {
unix_listener stats-writer {
user = vmail
}
}
Or alternatively change dovecot_virtual_delivery to use dovecot group.

Looks like this is happening now because in earlier versions the dovecot-lda
process wasn't sending any statistics.
