The only issue is to make sure that when it does any processing of .files on
behalf of a user, the loginuid is set for that user during the processing of the
script. After that, postfix should go back to its original loginuid.

For situations where there is no mail server installed and cron jobs need to
deliver the mail. If there's a way to avoid procmail when there's no postfix
installed, then we don't need it.

Is sendmail modified?
