- | Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Maildrop must be run as the uid/gid of the user whose mailbox it is
- delivering to.
- Therefore, if the MTA does not spawn it with the correct uid/gid, it
- needs to be suid root to perform the operation itself.
- The port is installed with the suid bit stripped by default. This works
- out-of-the-box with MTAs like qmail, which spawn maildrop with the
- correct uid/gid it needs to perform the delivery.
- For more information, please read the documentation in
- ${PREFIX}/share/doc/maildrop/INSTALL.
- It should be safe to enable the suid bits, but scan over the code first
- and satisfy yourself that there are no security holes.
- If you perform a full audit, please inform <ports@openbsd.org> and the
- suid bit may then be enabled by default.
- The following files will need suid re-enabled if you so choose:
- ${PREFIX}/bin/maildrop
- ${PREFIX}/bin/lockmail
