Hi there, I'm trying to make maildrop work, but getting "Invalid user specified." from it, eg: $ sudo maildrop -d te@kallisti.net.nz maildrop: Invalid user specified.

in /etc/courier/userdb (this is Debian, they seem to have moved it from /etc) I have: te@kallisti.net.nz mail=/var/spool/virtualmail/te@kallisti.net.nz

and I have run sudo makeuserdb, so have the userdb.dat from that (I also note there is a userdb.lock, is that normal?)

Any thoughts as to what is going on here?
