pop3d needs SUID root?

[Todd A. Jacobs]

When running pop3d, I get an error saying "no $HOME/Maildir" which may be
caused by the directory permissions of 0700 on both the home directory and
Maildir.

On Red Hat, procmail is the MDA, and is SUID/SGID root. Other than making
pop3d run as root, what are my options? If I chmod the directories, what's
the least privelege that will allow pop3d to run, without allowing users
to clobber or access each other's Maildir files?
