Security fix! Correct handling of seteuid() return value
See Debian bug #638002, reported by John Lightsey.
When possible the (already available) set_euidgid() function is used.
Additionally, it is unnecessary to change the identity when writing
into an already open file descriptor.
This should fix the problem.

1 relay-to-localhost-mta
2 ----------------------
4 Send three mails, using different options, to stdin of masqmail, which
5 relays it per STMP to a local MTA listening at localhost:25.
7 So use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail,
8 exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already
9 installed).
11 If it works, you should get three mails.
12 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within
13 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.
15 The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox
16 (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the
17 interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell
18 command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable.
20 If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may
21 have to qualify the hostname. You might want to do this in a way
22 similar to:
24 sed 's/RECV_HOST/foo.example.org/' test.tpl >test
