At the moment, that's a hack in the system-wide procmailrc that I don't 
know how to do, since the only thing procmail knows about userspace is 
"dropprivs="yes"", and there's no translation for an easy way to equate 
that to email address (i.e. it allows me to do it per *domain* not per 
user, i.e. *@mydomain.com, but if a user has two domains, then I'd have to 
do them each separately).

Presuming we're looking for the value of the "user" based on the email 
address, yes, I understand, but can't you check the value of -u before you 
even do that? (i.e. at the earliest point)
