Let's check the easy stuff. What version of maildrop are you using?

This is 'maildrop -v'. Perhaps you want to gentle OP to 'maildrop -V'?

No, this is asking for a simple version #. You know, like "2.0.2" or "1.6.3"

Is Authlib support enabled?

He already said that it was. authlib, with a small "a".

No, he did not. He said he has Authlib installed and configured and working with other packages. He did not say whether his maildrop has it built in and enabled.

What's the output of 'maildrop -v'

We've already had that.

Where? I only asked for the version number before which is different than asking for a full "maildrop -v" output. I have a tendancy to ask people questions in a number of different ways because often they have a tendancy to pick and choose what to answer or misunderstand what is being asked. I'm just maximizing the possibility of getting useful information.

Also, according to the authtest documentation:

http://www.courier-mta.org/authlib/authtest.html

The format of the authtest command should be:

authtest {loginid} [password] [newpassword]

[SNIP LDAP password rant] WTF does this have to do with the problem at hand?

So, you should be running:

authtest xx@apz.dk

What does that give you?

The only way that's going to work, presuming that OP actually wants it out of Postfix, is if he uses '-d ${user}@${nexthop}' and not '-d ${recipient}' (see Postfix's MAILDROP_README.html). Personally I use '-d ${user}' on my Postfix sites, and that returns me the (what Exim defines as) '$localpart'.

From: http://www.postfix.org/pipe.8.html

------ ${recipient} This macro expands to the complete recipient address.

------

In most cases, this will be equivalent to ${user}@${nexthop} except when there is an extension or routing information added to the local part. (eg. "username+some@example.com")

No, they're not the same but it will work as advertised >99.99% of the time. However, I concede ${user}@${nexthop} would be the better choice.

"> Let's check the easy stuff."

Indeed.
