Hi,

I'm setting up a virtual email system with postfix courier-imap and maildrop. Everything is working and maildrop delivers fine to the virtual mailboxes.

What I would like to know is does maildrop use variables passed to it by postfix or the userdb file (created when setting up IMAP) to correctly deliver it to the virtual mailbox. maildrop doc mentions userdb but somehow doesn't say how the two are glued together(with courier-IMAP, use of userdb is specified in its conf file)

I would eventually like to deliver spams to individual .spam folders for all users and would like to know which variable to use. is it the $HOME variable? is $HOME passed on by postfix in the background? because the maildrop line in postfix master.cf seems to be only passing ${recipient} ... maildrop -d ${recipient}

Thanks in advance for any clarification.
