I would try to determine the owner of the maildrop process,

The owner of the maildrop process is the userid the message is being delivered to.

Hi Sam,

What you say is consistent with my experiments, including use of strace to see what's happening. I've tried giving ownership "root:mail" to /var/log/maildrop.log and making my test user a member of group "mail", but that doesn't work either.

Is there any way for maildrop to have a single logfile for all users? As the sysadmin, that would be very useful for me (as well as the capability I had with procmail).

If maildrop's processes are owned by the user being delivered to, then it stands to reason that the only way you are going to be able to open a cntral og file is if it is world-writeable and that is not an option I'd care to use.

I'll settle for putting individual logs in each user's home directory. - -- Robin Lynn Frank Director of Operations Paradigm-Omega, LLC ====================== Complaints about my taglines may be directed to f.dz@kgb.su -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
