But surely thats just because the current user isn't a member of the
hello group...

On my system...
[kevins at bach temp]$ ls -l hello
-rw-r--r--    1 kevins   kevins          0 Nov  6 18:30 hello
[kevins at bach temp]$ groups
kevins floppy cdwriter audio users
[kevins at bach temp]$ chgrp wheel hello
chgrp: changing group of `hello': Operation not permitted
[kevins at bach temp]$ chgrp users hello
[kevins at bach temp]$ ls -l hello
-rw-r--r--    1 kevins   users           0 Nov  6 18:30 hello


Its surely just a one time hit to check that the MailScanner user is a
member of the group specified if the effective user isn't root?
