Hello,

It appears that maildrop requires that a user have a valid shell in /etc/passwd to be able to send out autoreplies using the mailbot command (and possibly any other command run from .mailfilter), is this correct?

Anything that runs an external command (xfilter, backticks) runs $SHELL to invoke the command, and $SHELL is initialized from the password file.
