Hello List,

I'm using maildrop with postfix and openldap to store the users.

Occasionally maildrop bounces a message with: user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified

This should not happen, if the user didn't exsist postfix would not have
accepted the message.

Could it be that the ldap lookup that maildrop does fails ?

Could be.

Is it possible that maildrop returns a temporary error so mail will stay in the
postfix queue untill a next attempt ?

Change the code:

static void nouser() { merr << "Invalid user specified.\n"; exit(EX_NOUSER); }

Replace that with EX_TEMPFAIL.
