Could it be that this causes the whole 'process' to run as the user and
therefore no prevleges as such exist?
I wonder if there are differences in how procmail is implemented (i.e.
compile-time options)? Personally, I always ran with DROPPRIVS=yes early
on as a precaution. A quick test verifies that at least on debian
testing/sarge, it seems to run with the receiving user's rights.

Am I back to delivering to a neutral place do you (and the list) think?
After experimenting a bit, I've settled on that approach:
:0
| cat - >> /var/tmp/spamstore
I found that I could symlink to that location from my IMAP folder
directory, and as long a permissions are correct (I created an init
script to make sure), it works fine. Not sure, but I'd expect maildir to
work similarly.
Thanks for the pointers to date. Hope I have been clear enough.
Same here, all! This approach is far simpler, less error-prone, and no
doubt faster than forwarding.
