That's basically my question. I'm trying to figure out whether or not something changed in the newer version of maildrop that would affect the default delivery. There are no .qmail files in the userdirs, because that caused maildrop to be ignored in the past. qmail is being invoked like this:

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|preline maildrop' splogger qmail

uh...I figured it out (so it appears). It seems the new server was including "./" in the root user's path (the old one was not), and that was enough to cause this problem. I'm not precisely sure why, but it seems to have fixed the problem.

oh, no I didn't (damn!). All messages to non shell users are still being deferred unless I leave:

to "./Maildir/."

In the /etc/maildroprc

Apr 23 15:30:52 mail qmail: 1082748652.363534 status: local 2/120 remote 7/120 Apr 23 15:30:52 mail maildrop[10463]: Unable to open mailbox. Apr 23 15:30:52 mail qmail: 1082748652.380774 delivery 18918: deferral: maildrop:_Unable_to_open_mailbox./

So far, I did find another descrepancy. the new box was missing the executable /var/qmail/boot/maildir that the old one had. I tried copying it over but still no luck. Any pointers would be really appreciated!
