I've used the excellent Postfix+MySQL+Courier-IMAP+Amavis howto by Martin List-Peterson to set up and configure my new postfix mail system, and it's been terrific. I'm really happy with the switch-over so far from qmail, and other than O/S problems that have recently been fixed, it's been fun.

HOWEVER, I need to implement maildrop in there, and I seem to be hitting a snag. I've followed his directions, which work unless more than one email address is sent to. If a single address is sent mail, no problem, but any kind of additional email address (including cc and bcc) is sent to, it fails. I've added in some extra logging on the .mailfilter file, and I've made changes I've seemed to need to to make it work under my system, which I'll post below, along with logs that I've generated.

This is the last 'hurdle' - once this is working, I can finally go full-bore on postfix, which is what I'm really looking forward to.

I apologize for the long set of info - but I'm really stuck, and I figure this might give someone enough to work on.

Any suggestions? I thank you again for your time.
