If maildrop is invoked by root, or maildrop's binary is setuid root, maildrop will use the userid and the groupid specified by courier-authlib. If maildrop is not invoked with root privileges, it will have to run using whatever userid or groupid it was started as, of course.

I am not sure if I understand how maildrop works. However I understood that postfix would use the user defined in master.cf (in my case virtual) to start maildrop. In face I gave permission to the virtual user so that this could access the authdaemon directory so that this maildrop could access information in mysql.

Where is the userid and groupid to be used by courier-authlib specified?
