I'm relatively new to Dovecot, but I really like what I'm seeing so

procmail for filtering, and finally to deliver to put the mail in the
appropriate Maildir folder. However, this isn't working. Postfix
passes the mail to procmail correctly, but procmail is failing when
it tries to call deliver. My system-wide procmailrc matches the lower
one shown here:

deliver.
My personal ~/.procmailrc is of similar format
Okay.
However, my procmail logs show this error message for every message
that comes through:

Thanks so much Asheesh. The problem was indeed that procmail was running
as root. Adding the dropprivs statement fixed it!
