Very Computer

Hi!

Does anybody know how to prevent procmail from enforcing stricter
access permissions on the system mailbox file it delivered a mail to?
Each time one of our linux pcs gets a mail, procmail removes write permission
for group mail which then breaks delivery on our Indy.
All I need to know is how to stop procmail from changing the access permissions.
Any help would very much be appreciated. :-)

Regards,
Armin.

       If  /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME  already  is a valid mailbox,
       but has got too loose permissions  on  it,  procmail  will
       correct  this.   To  prevent procmail from doing this make
       sure the u+x bit is set.
