thank you tony, anyway I think the question remains.
for example, in a standard environment with only posix accounts the
'Maildir' directory is strictly related to the email messaging system,
the $HOME directory is not and most probably already exist... so the
courier-maildrop works in the right way
but in a larger environment with multiple domains and eventually
separate stores, the accounts will be not posix but virtual and even if
the courier-maildrop contemplates this case, it doesn't fit well...
simply because if the $HOME directory is not already present, it does
not deliver the email
No indeed. The $HOME directory has to exist before $HOME/Maildir/ can be
created and that is why God invented Unix and shell scripting (the devil
Perl), just to take care of such eventualities.
