[Dovecot] Dovecot-lda/deliver - how to deliver root's mail?

  There's a good chance I could be missing something obvious here, as I 
can't find much documentation on the LDA other than on the wiki, which 
is sparse.  Local mail delivery works for normal users, but when 
attempting to deliver mail for root I get this error:

Jan 30 13:42:50 apollo deliver: Running as root isn't permitted

  Both sendmail and dovecot run as root on my server - since I don't 
allow shell accounts and have multiple layers of security around the 
server I'm okay with that.  How can I tell dovecot-lda it's okay to 
deliver root's mail as root?

Thanks,
Shayne
