config sendmail to use it like:
FEATURE(`local_procmail', `pathto/libexec/dovecot/deliver', `deliver -c
pathto/dovecot/etc/dovecot-deliver.conf -d $u')
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-f')

Then, in dovecot-deliver.conf, declare the socket to use
auth_socket_path = pathto/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master

in dovecot.conf, in auth default section, add this:
    socket listen {
        master {
            path = /opt/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/auth-master
            mode = 0666
        }
    }

And you're done :)
