Sorry, I don't have time to review all the instructions on the web
that describe how to plug some program into Postfix. That's what
I have to leave to the people who use that program with Postfix.

Consider this your opportunity to become a hero, with help from
the mailing list :-) The basic idea is that with a local aliases
file, file ownership determines the execution privileges for
"|command" and /file/name destinations, and the envelope sender
address for non-delivery notifications.
In other words, alias ownership of regexp/pcre files now works as
documented. Just give the file the right owner, and "|command"
will execute as the owner of the aliases file, instead of nobody.

Never. This was an invasive code change that affected 25 different
source code files. I will be proofreading and testing that code
several times over the course of this year before it becomes part
of the next stable release.
