This means nothing. maildrop will use th uid and gid returned by
authdaemon, unless you built maildrop without authlib support. This
assumes that maildrop is setuid. otherwise, mail will be delivered as
"vmail".

maildrop rules have nothing to do here, unless you can run privileged

Then you have something wrong. check what uid/gid is returned for the
${recipient}. if using a "single owned" mailbox tree, then you should
return a single uid/gid.

here:
# ls -l /path/to/maildtore/$domain/
drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 512 Apr 19 2006 mouss
nothing can access the mailstore except via imap/pop.
