Thx , i had considered this idea, but i just add entry of new user's informaition into LDAP (using perl or php in web, not include makeing user's $HOME and $HOME/Maildir/, because i don't want the web to touch file system...), and i want to add "maildir automatic creatation " feature into maildrop :-)

And i'm doing this...:-) Anyway, thanks for your suggestion !!! Devin Rubia writes:

I know about his ,but i forgot to add that i am running ldap to store user information NOT USING UNIX ACCOUNT via /etc/passwd..

How to get maildrop to work in this case ?? If no idea to do this , i must write a pacth a do it..:-(

So, how are you creating the virtual accounts? Why not just add a maildirmake to your account creation process?

I have successfully installed and configured maildrop 1.3.9,and felt happy,but when i add a new user and sendmail to it(the new user's home directory does not exists and i haven't create it manually),maildrop complain that"Unable to open mailbox".

Through the debug code i added to maildrop, it indicate the $HOME direcotry does not exits.How could i make maildrop to automatic generate $HOME and $HOME/Maildir if it doesn't exists?

If you do a "maildirmake Maildir" in /etc/skel, any new user created will have a "Maildir" directory underneath their home directory automatically.

(I do that under Debian; should work under any Linux, I believe)
