Maildrop issues: You are not a trusted user etc

[Jochen Gensch]

Hi,

I have tried to install maildrop on my mail system. However, something 
seems to be wrong. Maildrop needs to be started by a non root user 
(always the same one) and has to switch to the correct user afterwards. 
This is implied by the "-d USER" option. Further virtual users are used 
here. So, I compiled maildrop with the following options:

make install clean -DWITH_USERDB -DMAILDROP_TRUSTED_USERS=status 
-DMAILDROP_SUID=root -DMAILDROP_SGID=wheel

So, status is the user, who is always starting maildrop. Virtual users 
seem to work fine, however maildrop keeps telling me, that status isn't 
a trusted user:

"You are not a trusted user"

Further the options -DMAILDROP_SUID=root -DMAILDROP_SGID=wheel don't 
have any effect. Maildrop is installed with standard permissions.... so 
what am I missing?

Cheers, Jochen
