In addition, the local(8) delivery agent drops privileges to that of the UNIX user in question. You can/will hit errors if they do not exist. The virtual(8) delivery agent can be statically assigned a UNIX user to run as. The above is noted in the the VIRTUAL_README Also, though something "may work for you", it does not guarantee it will work in the future. Documented classes and methods will be less likely to break as updates progress (unless otherwise noted).
