Rather than try to make procmail work with insanely dangerous permsissions, why not make the home directories group writable, instead of world writable, and then run faximum as that GID?


ie:
drwxrwxr_x  21 kevin    group      16896 Jul 24 11:34 kevin

and then exec faximum as a user who is a member of "group".

It's still sub-optimal, but at least you're not doing something quite as foolish as having world-writable home directories.

Another idea would probably be for faximum to run as root and use those permissions to access user's home directories.
