--- Comment #4 from Jeremy Harris <jgh146exb@???> ---
The spool error is for opening the -D file, but we also open the -H right after
that. We need to be root at some point after reading the -H file, from which
we
get the recipients, in case we are to deliver locally and need to become the
relevant user. I don't think trying to invent a dance involving another
exec, to regain root, and passing open fds or memory segments about, is really
tenable (we could afford to hold the -H info in memory. Not so for the -D; it
can be MB, even GB).
