I solved my problem by making the directory maildrop worldwidewriteable.
But this is sh*t.

The "T" Flag is (from the manpage):
save program text on swap device (t)
Don't understand it, anyway.

Another box which I am admin of has the same permissions for the
directory maildrop as I had: drwx-wx--T and there it doesn't seem to
have problems. So what's really going on?
