Hi,

I am tryin to setup postfix and maildrop on my freebsd machine but is getting this error

Mar 6 18:30:29 thor postfix/pipe[36205]: 053E71CDB7: to=<xx@apz.dk>, relay=maildrop, delay=0.21, delays=0.13/0.03/0/0.05, d sn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified. )

What am i doing wrong?

The user specified by the -d option to maildrop does not exist.

Okay - How do i test that? Because authtest imapd xx@apz.dk works fine

Test what parameter Postfix provides to maildrop. It's probably passing -d xxx, instead of -d xx@apz.dk

In my postfix master.cf i have

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -w 90 -d ${recipient}

Let's check the easy stuff. What version of maildrop are you using? Is Authlib support enabled?

What's the output of 'maildrop -v'

Also, according to the authtest documentation:

http://www.courier-mta.org/authlib/authtest.html

The format of the authtest command should be:

authtest {loginid} [password] [newpassword]

So, you should be running:

authtest xx@apz.dk

What does that give you?
