Hello

I've installed a new mail server on a Debian sarge (Postfix + OpenLDAP + Courier) and it worked very well. I've got a vmail user who get back the mails of all virtual user in /home/vmail/domain/user. (where '/home/vmail/' is the homeDirectory attribut in the LDAP, and 'domain/user/' is the mailbox attribut) [1]

But now i want to remplace the Postfix-mda by Courier-Maildrop. I made a debian backport for courier's paquages to have more recent versions. [2] I created a file maildroprc with just a new definition of $DEFAULT to $HOME/$DEFAUTL; and where to put the logfile. [3] With this configuration, maildrop works well with my root user. The $DEFAULT is well initialised to /home/vmail/domain/user/ [4]. But not with my vmail user. The $DEFAULT is initialised with the values of vmail ($DEFAULT = '/home/vmail/.Maildir) and not with the values of my virtual user. [5]

Is there anybody who see why??

Thank you for reading, and sorry for my bad english ;o)
