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

With what user maildrop is running as?
perhaps root with group mail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 165272 Mar 12 15:42 /usr/local/courier/bin/maildrop
What's the home directory of this user?
I try to run authtest, heres the output
authtest john.doe
Authentication succeeded.
Authenticated: john.doe (uid 10673, gid 10027)
Home Directory: /home/sdm.rb29
Maildir: (none)
Quota: (none)
Encrypted Password: {MD5}xxx
Cleartext Password: (none)
Options: disablepop3=0,disableimap=1
Is correct the home directory permissions?
hopefully yes, the permission is right, I use nscd to cache the user
info from ldap.
I try to turn off nscd, but nothings change
drwx------ 3 john.doe john.doe 4096 Jun 19 16:47 /home/john.doe/
try to run maildrop by hand (with the user) in verbose mode, to
get all output.
maildrop -V 3 -d john.doe maildrop: Changing to /home/john.doe
maildrop: Unable to change to home directory.
