I have installed maildrop-1.5.3 on Intel Pentium III based server running Red Hat Linux 8.0 as the local delivery agent for sendmail 8.12.5.

I want to execute /etc/maildroprc to all local users (us...@mydomain.com) to deliver mail to virtual maildir of the form /var/sites/mydomain/maildir/user.

The maildrop complains “Unable to open mailbox” for us...@mydomain.com, but ro...@mydomain.com, maildrop delivers the mail as per the rule given in /etc/maildroprc. Is this a bug or feature of maildrop or my side configuration error?

My configuration details are given below.

Regards Sagara
