severity 62668 wishlist thanks Well, let's make a proposal for this also:
Current Policy, 5.6, states: The mail spool is 2775 mail.mail, and MUAs need to be setgid mail to do the locking mentioned above [...] AFAIK, we have never followed this, and I have not received any reports against base-files saying the mail system does not work properly because of "wrong ownership". Since there is no need to have the mail spool owned by mail, and policy itself lacks a rationale for it, I propose that we change policy to match current practice: s/mail.mail/root.mail/ (which, I think, it is also current practice in other Linux distributions). I'm looking for seconds for this proposal. Thanks.
