homedirectory_field '/mail'

Here is the file structure:

/mail/jo@domain.com /mail/jo@domain.com/cur /mail/jo@domain.com/new /mail/jo@domain.com/tmp ************************** Here are the directory permissions on the jo@domain.com folder and its contents: drwxr-xr-x 1154 1001

What are the directory permissions for /mail? If they're world writable, that's your problem--anybody on the box could drop a .mailfilter file in there and redirect your mail somewhere else.

If you have a .mailfilter file, it needs to be 0600 permissions...

Once you fix this, it should fix your Postfix problem...

thanks for the reply... I changed the permissions, they look like this now:

drwxr-xr-x 168 root root 8192 Nov 9 21:10 mail

But I still get the same error. /usr/local/bin/maildrop -d "jo@domain.com"

/usr/local/bin/maildrop: Invalid home directory permissions - world writable.

with postfix: (temporary failure. Command output: maildrop: signal 0x0B
