Hi all,

I'm new to maildrop. I'm trying to use maildrop as MDA with sendmail, but I'm facing some troubles. That is, since some of my local users don't have a defined home dir, when maildrop is set to delivery mode (-d $u) in sendmail.cf, as shown in sendmail docs:

FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop -d $u')

the following message starts to show:

Aug 15 11:43:25 host1 maildrop[75586]: Unable to change to home directory.

If, on the other hand, I set it in sendmail as in manual mode:

FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop /usr/local/etc/maildroprc')

The maildrop processes start to grow, and the following message starts to show:

Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: timeout waiting for input from host1.mydomain.com during client greeting

Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: smtpquit: mailer local exited with exit value 75

It seems that no message body is sent to maildrop. Does any of you have successfully configured maildrop+sendmail in an scenario like that?
