Hi,

I still have no idea why maildrop is not being invoked to deliver local mail on my system. Can anyone offer some help as to how I might troubleshoot this problem?

If you recall, I'm running redhat 7.1, courier 0.35 and here is an exerpt from my /etc/courier/courierd file that seems to indicate I am configured to use maildrop:

##NAME: DEFAULTDELIVERY:0 # # Specify default delivery instructions by setting DEFAULTDELIVERY # One of the following definitions of DEFAULTDELIVERY should be # uncommented. # # Default deliveries to $HOME/Maildir # # DEFAULTDELIVERY=./Maildir # # Alternatively, use procmail to deliver mail to local mailboxes. # # DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/lib/courier/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail" # # Here's how to have maildrop handle local deliveries. # DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop" # # If you want to automatically enable .forward support globally, # use something like this: # # DEFAULTDELIVERY="|| dotforward # ./Maildir" # # Yes, it's two lines long, with an embedded newline. Of course, you can use # any default local mail delivery instruction in place of ./Maildir.

##NAME: MAILDROPDEFAULT:0 # # The following setting initializes the DEFAULT variable in maildrop, # the location of the default mailbox. You should not change this setting # unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

MAILDROPDEFAULT=./Maildir
