These flags have just about nothing to do with command line parameters. They're
all about how the binary should work correctly.

User root isn't allowed for mail actions (pretty much everything has this, root
is evil).

Users are looked up via userdb lookup, rather than from environment variables
and current process euid.

Privileges are dropped only temporarily (this is the biggest thing I hate about
LMTP processes - they effectively run as root).

The "mail storage service" code doesn't change anything related to logging. I
don't remember exactly why this matters, but I think lmtp does this internally.
