My questions: *How is the maildrop daemon run, with what privileges or as what user?

You tell us. It's up to your mail server's configuration, to either invoke maildrop as root, or under the recipient's userid.

Check your mail server's documentation for more information. Depending on your Postfix configuration it can go either way.

*When executing the cc command to copy the mail, does maildrop pass this another user? Perhaps it runs in the context of the intended mail recipient, in this case, a local user?

The cc command simply runs "$SENDMAIL $recipient" as a child process.
