I am running a script where a particular line executes a script to create a new
maildir for new users. but when then script executes it gives me an error
"maildrop:_error_writing_to_filter" on my debug screen.

here is a snippet of the script that is giving me the error.

exception { #"| /var/vpopmail/bin/newuser" xfilter"/var/vpopmail/bin/newuser" }

I think xfilter is expected to take the current message as input, modify it (usually), and write the result to its output. Then the output replaces the original message.

If your script _only_ creates a new maildir but doesn't handle the current message, then maildrop might well complain.
