Turns out this was an issue with the maildrop port. There doesn't appear to
be a way of configuring 'trusted users' for maildrop without directly
modifying the Makefile. And maildrop doesn't get installed suid despite
having it's "--enable-maildrop-uid" option set. Making maildrop suid and
configuring it with user:mailnull as a trusted user got it working. Time for
a change request I think.
