Description Hannes Nagel 2009-06-13 20:12:46 UTC

mail-filter/maildrop fails to switch user for local delivery when called by fetchmail (configured to use mda maildrop in /etc/fetchmailrc). 

This is because the user fetchmail is not listed in the --trusted-users option in the maildrop ebuild.

Solution:
Add 'fetchmail ' to --restricted-users in maildrop ebuilds 
(rebuild maildrop ebuild manifest, rebuild maildrop if the tree ebuild is not changed)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install/configure /etc/fetchmailrc to use mda maildrop
2. have a look into the fetchmail log file
Actual Results:  
fetchmail logfile says:
/usr/bin/maildrop: You are not a trusted user
and cannot deliver mail

Expected Results:  
deliver mail locally
