Centos 6.6 log file permission change

[Glenn]

Hi All

today out of the blue dovecot stopped working , the logs indicated that the application could no longer read the log files changing them to 777 made Dovecot happy but id like to set them to a safer permission does anyone have any idea why this would happen ?
