Hello,

In my new mail server, i want to use maildrop with postfix as local delivery agent. All work's fine except that i need to automatically create home directory for my user when i doesn't exist.

It exist a patch pour courier-mta but not for maildrop.

I have made a patch (based on the works of Carlo, http://www.commedia.it/ccontavalli/#courier).

This patch add the option '-c <path to the script>' which define a path to a script which create home directory.

I'm using a script like this :

---- #!/bin/sh

logger -p mail.notice -i -t "maildrop/homedirmake" "Create maildir $1" mkdir -p $1 cd $1 maildirmake Maildir

----

Best regards.
