I feel that prcomail create the file with the as if it was root's file because it is run by root, silently.
Is that right? Yes, before this thread took it's many turns, that's the problem I'm having. In this recipy:

You might want to investigate DROPPRIVS. From man procmailrc: DROPPRIVS If set to `yes' procmail will drop all privileges it might have had (suid or sgid). This is only useful if you want to guarantee that the bottom half of the /etc/procmailrc file is executed on behalf of the recipient. I've no clue exactly what "the bottom half of /etc/procmailrc" covers though... HTH /Jon -- Whatever rocks your boat!
