tmda-ofmipd in system-wide mode

Since the last bit of advice I received from this list, I've been
setting up TMDA on my own personal account.  I thought that, as I have a
number of users and they may all like to use TMDA, I'd run tmda-ofmipd
system-wide, so I created a user account and set it up as directed by
the docs.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the mail-sending process fails when
sending via a system-wide tmda-ofmipd daemon, but seems to work when a
single user is running it.

Here is the log from when it worked; when I was running from my test
user's account:

Here is the log from when it didn't work, when I was running as the
global ``tofmipd'' user (started from a root login):

Notice the absence of the ``RSET'' line before the ``QUIT'' -- I'm not
sure if that was something tmda-ofmipd should send to the MUA or
vice-versa.  The MUA (Evolution 2.6.x in this case) produces the
following error:

``DATA command failed: Requested action aborted: error in processing''

Is this a problem with my setup, or the behaviour of tmda-ofmipd in
multi-user mode?  Any advice would be appreciated!

best regards,
