After a little more research I came up with the following.

When running the command "maildrop -V10 -d dm...@example.com" as root, the following is output:

maildrop: authlib: groupid=5000 maildrop: authlib: userid=5000 maildrop: authlib: logname=dm...@example.com, home=/var/spool/mail/virtual, mail=/var/spool/mail/virtual/example.com/dm/ maildrop: Changing to /var/spool/mail/virtual

When run as the user "virtual" instead of root, the output it:

Note the 4th line is different when run as virtual. When I run as root, it recognizes all of the fields properly (i.e. $DEFAULT becomes /var/spool/mail/virtual/example.com/dm). However, when run as virtual, $DEFAULT remains "./Maildir").

I'm having trouble pulling the MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD value into my maildroprc file.

When I call maildrop using the command line, this is the output:

root@local:/var/spool/mail/virtual# maildrop -V10 -d <URL:mailto:dm...@example.com> dm...@example.com < test.msg maildrop: authlib: groupid=5000 maildrop: authlib: userid=5000 maildrop: authlib: logname=<URL:mailto:dm...@example.com>dm...@example.com, home=/var/spool/mail/virtual, mail=/var/spool/mail/virtual/example.com/dm/ maildrop: Changing to /var/spool/mail/virtual

I have my maildroprc set to log variables, and it is showing that $DEFAULT is set to /var/spool/mail/virtual/example.com/dm/

However, when Postfix calls maildroprc, $DEFAULT is set to "./Maildir" instead?

My <URL:http://master.cf>master.cf lines are:

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=virtual argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}

Why would this happen?

maildrop has no knowledge who invoked it. It can't really tell if you run it from a shell command, or if another process invokes it. There's obviously something different in the way postfix runs maildrop, compared to how you run it from the command line.

You can also pass the -V10 flag to maildrop when it gets invoked by Postfix. maildrop sends all those log messages to stderr; you'll need to figure out how to get Postfix to log them, somewhere.
