I have successfully installed and configured maildrop 1.3.9,and felt happy,but when i add a new user and sendmail to it(the new user's home directory does not exists and i haven't create it manually),maildrop complain that"Unable to open mailbox".

Through the debug code i added to maildrop, it indicate the $HOME direcotry does not exits.How could i make maildrop to automatic generate $HOME and $HOME/Maildir if it doesn't exists?

If you do a "maildirmake Maildir" in /etc/skel, any new user created will have a "Maildir" directory underneath their home directory automatically.

(I do that under Debian; should work under any Linux, I believe)

Some days you're the pigeon; some days you're the statue.
