        The procmail man say about "-d":  
                "Procmail will setuid to the intended recipients
          and  delivers  the  mail  as  if it were invoked by the
          recipient with no arguments..."

        I understand, if procmail will setuid to the intended recipients
        then the owner of the proccess IS the recipient.

        Many thanks Sean, I feel that I miss something - this is the reason
        why I asked for explanation and not focussed on my case.  When you
        read the FAQ you see some questions that theirs answers are in the
        man pages but need some diferrent persentation and centralization.

Bye,
 Udi
