Well, if you read the patch more closely, you'll see that our behaviour
matches the behaviour of the upstream maildrop when used with Courier.
We simply avoided giving the "Permission denied" error in the standalone
case as well.

The reasoning for that is described at http://bugs.debian.org/265399

I wouldn't be opposed to making this configurable offhand, but I would
appreciate it if you could explain why you prefer the other behaviour.
