Is your HOWTO written in Italian? I can do English, German and Russian, but
no Italian, otherwise I would like to have a look at it.

So, I have fixed the permissions in the following way:

total 1526
drwxr-xr-x 2 ifmail dialer 512 Aug 24 15:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 bin bin 1024 Jul 24 16:29 ..

Do you think if everything is correct now?

As you have noticed, I have left the suid bit on both ifmail and ifnews. I
think it is necessary on both because ifmail is started by sendmail and
ifnews is started by news. Is this correct?
