Hey, look at that!
DROPPRIVS   If  set  to	`yes'  procmail  will drop all privileges
it might have had (suid or sgid).  This is only
useful if you want to guarantee that the bottom half
of  the /etc/procmailrc file is executed on behalf
of the recipient.
Of course, removing setuid/gid bits on programs that don't need it is
always a good idea.  A general rule of system administration: don't give
out permissions unless you absolutely need to.   ;)
