Do you mean setuid root for tmail? dmail should not be setuid.

You'll want the "u" flag also. I would also suggest getting rid of the
"D" and "R" flags and using "-f ${sender}" with the tmail argv instead.

Good.

It is correct to use mailbox_transport and not mailbox_command for tmail
because AFAIK mailbox_command doesn't let you set the EOL correctly,
amongst other things.

You've asked postfix to pipe to tmail for local delivery; either an
alias or a .forward file will take precedence over mailbox_transport, so
if you want to configure use of procmail per-user then use one of these
mechanisms. If tmail is not correct for the "default" local delivery
mechanism, don't use the configuration you have.

dmail does not accept absolute pathnames for the +folder arg.

A script that calls mixcvt would be best. How you prevent folder
modification during conversion is site-dependent. You might want to
stop postfix and disable a small number of accounts, convert them, then
repeat for other accounts.
