Debian GNU/Linux original sarge packages (Courier v0.58-5) and maildrop v2.0.2-11 which slightly modified by me:

* Recompile with LDAP support => --enable-maildropldap --with-ldapconfig=... * Disable chdir(homedir) - I'm running AFS! => --disable-tempdir * Log fatal errors to syslog => --enable-syslog=1

As MTA (as said earlier, I always missinterpret MTA and MDA) I use Qmail-LDAP/Controls which, before calling maildrop, does a cd to the mailMessageStore (which it also thinks is the home directory using basicaly the same trick as with Courier - LDAP_HOMEDIR).

just a bet. If maildrop was built with HAVE_COURIER, then it may be trying to import variables (HOME, DEFAULT, ...) from courier-mta (which is not running) and thus using default builting values.
