I have been looking to try and make this work for the last two days. However I can not manage to create the maildir for a new user when this receives a new email.

The first thing that the maildrop delivery process does is change into the user's HOME directory. Since it doesn't exist, it never even gets to the point of reading hte maildroprc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

What mailserver do you use? On one system with sendmail, my provisioning daemon (a perl script) creates it when the user account is created. I am able to get around it with Exim though, because I can tell Exim to deliver directly the first email to an account, and then maildrop to deliver everything after that.

So the answer becomes what tools you have at your disposal.
