Summary
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200803-25.
Solution
All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-mail/dovecot-1.0.13-r1'
This version removes the 'mail_extra_groups' option and introduces a 'mail_privileged_group' setting which is handled safely.
