Ok, this has come to bite me on the rear end now....

Why does deliver try to change it's group, it it's setgid to the group
it's trying to change to?

I have
-rwsr-sr-x  1 dovecotmail dovecotmail 2816973 Jun  9 19:14
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
dovecotmail being 112. The virtual user is 112, and my error is
Jun  9 20:33:46 mafeking deliver(joeblogs): setgroups(112) failed:
Operation not permitted

WHY does deliver try to change it's gid, when it does need to!?!?

Is this the issue? Or is there another solution?

Thanks

Tim
