My system: "Debian 2.2.18pre21 running on a "old" 486dx"

Background:
I have added a second user to my system.
But recently I got this error while fetching mail from the isp of the new user
.

My .fetchmailrc calls Procmail like this
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d user1"
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d user2"
...
reading message 1 of 2 (1338 octets) .procmail: Insufficient privileges

Is there a reason you're using the mda option instead of letting fetchmail
send the message via SMTP to your localhost?  Using SMTP avoids all the
permissions problems by handing the message to a daemon that already
has permission to deliver mail.
