I am using Maildrop 1.7.0, from Debian Sarge distro. When I change the transport to Maildrop this is what happen:

maildrop[4343]: Cannot set my user or group id. postfix/local[4342]: 865224C087: to=<serg@cultura.gov.br>, relay=local, delay=0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Cannot set my user or group id. )

Otherwise (as local transport), every message goes to your respective Maildirs without any problems. Courier and Postfix are authenticating against LDAP directory and is working well. Does anyone have any idea about this error?

Maildrop should be suid root in this case, as postfix can't run it as root and if it isn't running as root, it can't just suid to a real or virtual local user's id.
