I include it here, in case someone spots some error in it:

there is no binddn or bindpw. I have not had luck making it bind anonymously for these applications. It seems like you are having problems connecting to your LDAP server, so I suspect access list or password problems.

vmail:vmail is 6000:6000 and the file is owned and readable by vmail only.

BTW: Are you using maildrop 1.6.2 or earlier? Did you take the suid/sgid bits off by hand after intallation? The installation script makes maildrop suid root by default.

I am using 1.5.2, and there are no setuid bits on maildrop from the install. They do not appear to be needed in my setup. mail0:/etc# ls -l /usr/local/bin/maildrop -rwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 1002215 Jun 12 15:57 /usr/local/bin/maildrop

pretty much basic binary perms. I hope some of this helps you get it sorted out.
