Actually, I'm just running the configure and running into problems.

The configure I'm running is: ./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --mandir=/usr/share/man --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --prefix=/usr --enable-maildropldap --with-etcdir=/etc

The last lines that show up are: checking mail transport agent... /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi checking location of system mailboxes... configure: error: Cannot determine default mailbox configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for maildrop

How should I set this? I've tried the MAIL ENV variable and that didn't seem to work. My ultimate goal is to configure maildrop to work with postfix and ldap virtual accounts so that all mail will be owned by a user, vmail.

The configure script can't find a suitable mailbox directory, such as /var/spool/mail, on your system. You still need one, for the purposes of building maildrop; afterwards you can switch over to a purely-virtual configuration.
