Well then. Nevermind. Makes sense. Except - hrm. I am delivering all mail to the same uid; My mail users don't have real accounts on the mail system. I wonder if lots of folks are doing it like this. I suspect that many userdb/ldap/mysql folks are ... I wonder if it might be useful to switch to that user and perhaps prefork. But I guess that would add tons of weirdness and special cases to the code. Doesn't seem worth it.
