With what user maildrop is running as? What's the home directory of this user? Is correct the home directory permissions?

try to run maildrop by hand (with the user) in verbose mode, to get all output.

regards.

Hi all,

what is "maildrop: Unable to change to home directory" error means?

It means that maildrop cannot set its current directory to the account's home directory.

because the home directory of the user is owned by the user and now world readable or writeable.

Perhaps what you think the home directory isn't the same as what maildrop thinks it is.

please, shed some light on how maildrop works or the home directory as maildrop think. All I know is - maildrop would use the user account id - cd to the account home directory - deliver the message - change quota usage if used
