- Is this reproducible regardles of the target filesystem, i.e.
also for delivery to mbox files in other directories (mode 1777
is typically required for for the "dotlock protocol" to work).
- Is the "nobody" account specifically affected, or also other
accounts, i.e. what happens if you change "default_privs" to some
other account?
- Does maildir work better?
