Package: torsocks
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use procmail as my mda in mpop, with this line in the config file (as suggested in the documentation):
  delivery mda /usr/bin/procmail -f '%F' -d $USER

Running 'torsocks mpop' fails if there are any mails waiting to be collected, with the (example) output:
  new: 1 message in 31.02 KiB, total: 1 message in 31.02 KiB
  retrieving message 1 of 1 (31.02 KiB): sh: 1: /usr/bin/procmail: Operation not permitted
   38
  mpop: cannot write mail: output error
  mpop: error during mail retrieval (account default from /home/nick/.mpoprc)

This only started happening when I upgraded to stretch, in jessie this worked perfectly.

Running mpop not through torsocks works fine, and torsocks can write to files generally (tested with 'torsocks wget debian.org')
