I am configing a mail server running courier and maildrop on a FreeBSD box.
I am running into errors with receiving mail. Below are some of the errors.
I read that only root can run the -D option with maildrop, but I am not sure
which process within courier runs maildrop. Here are the current processes
related to courier:
