By the way. Is there some way to have procmail drop its root-uid
priviledges, but keep its mail-gid privs ?

If your system supports setting the real gid independently of the
effective gid it does this by default.  I'm not sure there's a way to
get it to drop its saved setgid at all on such a system, actually.
