Yes:
drwxrwsr-t 2 root mail 1024 giu 4 18:53 /var/spool/mail/
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 57536 mag 13 21:53 /usr/bin/procmail*
The user vmailer runs as should not have access to other files than
/var/spool/vmailer/ and (most important!) should not be used by other
programs.
I think we should assign a static id in the 1-100 or 64000 range.
(I don't really like much the idea of dynamic ids: I don't think
we are going to be short of id numbers and they make NFS file sharing
a PITA.)
