Hi.

Thanks to those who gave replies as to my mysql woes for maildrop functionality w/ postfix+courier. That all seems to work now.

If I use maildrop as root, I see delivery!

However, last "dumb" question. For purposes of the maildrop transport in master.cf, how do I set up a proper user so that it can change uid/gid?

Currently if I try to set user=root, this causes a barf by postfix.

However, no other user I pick seems to work since the ability to change uid/gid does not work.

See current master.cf line:

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=R user=mail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -V9 -d ${user}

The user "mail" cannot itself change uid/gid which is necessary in maildrop for final delivery (similar to virtual).

How can I set up a user for this purpose? I have tried several approaches, but it does not work.

Sunil

p.s. I also try to users from the command line, and again run into problems with this...
