I think that in certain configurations, procmail runs as root (despite
the value of LOGNAME, etc.) until it actually tries to write to the
user's maildrop.  In such cases, bogofilter will also run as root.

If you want to test this theory, add "DROPPRIVS=yes" to the procmail
rc file just before bogofilter -u gets called.  My bet is that it
will start to fail.  So might other things, too, so use caution. :)
