And I think I've tracked down the other problem. It has to do with maildrop having the setuid bit set on it. For some reason tmpfile fails when an executable is setuid. I'll try to figure out why that is, but i wouldn't be surprised if it's a FreeBSD 5.0 bug.

I verified that there is only one maildrop on my system. I looked at configure and then the Makefile for maildrop, and it looks ok. TMDIR = use tmpfile() is the relavant line from Makefile. I believe that it is correct. Still confused as to what the problem is.

Your tmpfile() system call is failing. Check the permissions on your /tmp or /var/tmp directory, or where your tmpfile() creates temporary files.
