Subject:Re: [maildropl] maildrop and maildir creation: it can't, why?Actions...

I've already googled around and searched in the mailing list archive to find how to configure maildrop for maildir creation, patching apart, seems there are no solutions.

I've managed to (ab)use maildorp for maildir creation. I've specified a directory which is always accessible as the users mail home dir (I'm using the same for every user). This prevents early chdir failures so that the global maildroprc script gets executed nonetheless.

which mta are you using?

I'm using postfix which simply calls maildrop -d ${recipient}

I've tried to replace the $HOME value before the launch of maildrop, but it seems not so simple with postfix?

Uhm I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm using courier-authlib with a LDAP backend. The clue is that I've specified an absolute path for the maildir attribute:

homeDirectory: /var/mail maildir: /var/mail/example.org/user/Maildir/

I don't know if this is possible with other courier-authlib authentication modules.
