If you're using only a single UID and GID there's no need to make
deliver setuid root. But I guess I've changed the code so it works a bit
differently now.

At least one thing that changed is that if mail_extra_groups is set,
deliver tries to set it. Do you have it set? I'll change the error
message so it's clearer why this happens.
