Hi,

I am trying to follow this tutorial,
http://www.phparchitecture.com/howto_show.php?id=2 and for the most part stuff
is working, however maildrop is not, i have configured everything to use
vmail(37)/vmail(37) for maildrop and storing messages. When root send a message
it will go into /home/vmail/mysite.com/edman007/Maildir/new as a separate file,
however when the user vmail sends an email it will get appended to the file
/home/vmail/Maildir, and that is not the behavior i want. I have checked and i
see no .mailfilter or maildroprc files anywhere on the system. maildrop is 750
and setuid (root/vmail). the authentication is done through mysql and it works
as shown in the authtest output.

I want the behavior that i see when its run as root, but i don't see the
configuration anywhere that would say its one way or the other, and i certiantly
don't see any user specific configuration. I have also recompiled maildrop
vmail/vmail is a trusted user and its the maildrop user, nothing helped at all.
Right now i'm just stuck and have spent all day on this, but this issue seems
impossible to debug due to lack of debugging stuff. i have resorted to looking
through the maildrop source to try and figure this one out.

Basically you can see the difference here:

//when run as vmail root@email:/etc/rc.d# su - vmail -c '/usr/bin/maildrop -d edma...@xxx.com -V

the authtest output vmail@email:~$ /usr/sbin/authtest edma...@xxx.com Authentication succeeded.
