Re: global maildrop log file?

I think we have achieved escape velocity. <g>

That produced in /tmp:

-rw------- 1 bob    mail   1932 Feb 17 14:16 maildroplog 

I added all three users to the mail group and did a chmod g+rw and 
now this appears to be working as desired i.e. "globally," one log 
file recording three users' mail traffic. (poobah being of course 
another of the three users):

-rw-rw---- 1 poobah mail   1891 Feb 17 15:21 maildroplog

One caveat for anyone who cares to trod this way: convince yourself 
completely that new group memberships REALLY now belong to the users 
you are working with! Hint: sometimes a login is not a login.

Thank you again,
