I checked the code and where the maildirsize file gets created it does not set the ownership. Most of the time the permissions get set with the setuid call. But if it gets called some other way without the setuid then the maildirsize file would probably be created as the owner of the process,not the owner of the directory. Perhaps we should put some set ownership code around the creation of the maildirsize file? Ken Jones
