Have you read the INSTALL.mbox file that came with the qmail source? It may
have some clues. If I am not mistaken, only root can change its identity,
and this error is indicating that the real uid of the process is 1000, which
is not root, so it can't change to real uid 0, so the setuid call is
failing. I am assuming that 1000 is the uid of qmaill, or whichever qmail
user is responsible for local deliveries.
It may be necessary that qmail-start should be invoked under root, which
seems to be the case on my machine. If it is not, that could be a cause.
