Oh, right... it seems that it's a change that wouldn't break anything, since it's set up to root.mail already /and it's been like that for a while now/. So, I'm seconding this proposal. > Those who think root.mail is wrong should perhaps make a counter-proposal > which adds a suitable rationale for using mail.mail (is there a rationale > for that?). I'd like to hear it, too. And a rationale why mailboxes must be writable by group mail... it works otherwise (e.g. 600 or 640 permissions), I don't see a reason for that. > I wonder how would we deal with this bug if we followed the procedure > proposed by Ian.

Eeek -- if your decision would be final, that would mean concentrating decision-making power in one sole person... I don't like that.
