    Does that mean "supposed to do..."? BTW, one punctuation mark is sufficient.

    maildrop runs as user maild and cannot switch to the ID associated with
    ${recipient}. Either make sure all maildrop deliveries happen as UID
    maild, or install maild setuid root. maildrop is designed to do that, so
    this should be safe.
