  Dovecot has reserved the groupname 'dovecot' and gid '143':

  Either remove the conflicting group or if you wish to continue using a 
  legacy group override DOVECOT_GID.

Just a guess, are you running nscd?  I've encountered problems
with it caching stale information and ports running into trouble
because of it.  I haven't had time to report it.
