This is part of my getmailrc

i use getmail + dovecot + sieve + spamassassin [filter getmail] at all of my accounts. I can't seem to be too far off with my configuration, but it's just not working yet. Your user "ebal" is part of the group "mail", I gather? I don't think this matters. he runs deliver as the user who owns the mailbox (see -d argument).
Does that mean that one, and only one, user may be running deliver manually (or from Getmail) to get his mail? This would make it quite impossible for a server with multiple real system users to use Getmail and deliver mail via Dovecot's LDA, wouldn't it?
it does not mean that. some people use a single uid:gid for their mailstore. thus a single user is used to deliver all mail.
Others use different uid:gid for mailboxes. If this is your case, then some work is needed. one possibility is suid. check the wiki.
Or am I not seeing the obvious solution to this problem?
