Yes, this is ugly. If the audit context can't be set appropriately this
functionality needs to be disabled for the CC evaluated configuration,
for example by setting "allow_mail_to_commands" in the case of postfix
(see the local(1) man page).
Does anyone plan to add this functionality to the MTA?
Probably shouldn't be the MTA, but the MDA (procmail).
There is a great deal of disagreement between many people (including me)
and Vietse, who thinks that the MTA shall setuid(), thereby making
decisions that may easily be out of its scope.
Looks like both procmail and postfix need to be pam'ified.
