Hi Felix,

... we must hardcode some paths to /run/setuid-program/... as
in this yet-to-be-accepted patch for OpenSMTPd. [1]

Oh, this is quite a tricky issue... I'm opposed to packaging software in Guix in such a way as to rely on the conventions of a system installation -- or even to assume what software a user chooses for their particular system installation -- because that undermines the core principles of statelessness and user freedom. I don't know enough about this problem to offer good solutions, honestly. For the aforementioned reasons, I don't think the Shepherd is the place to solve it. Or rather, if the problem is solved there (no reason it can't be), there will still need to be accomodations for those who don't want to rely on Shepherd.

P.S. Your mail headers included "Reply-To: [email protected]";
I took the liberty to copy you on this message.

Thanks! I don't know how email headers work XD I subscribe to the guix-devel digest so when I want to respond to a particular message, I copy over the "to" and "cc" and "subject" manually and then I go grab the message ID of the particular message I'm replying to and put that in Geary's "reply to" field in the hopes of not breaking threading. Does this not work properly? (feel free to reply out-of-band if there's more to be said)
