Thank you all for the help, and prompt replies. I installed courier-authlib, and already I had courier-imap working with ldap. So doing /usr/sbin/authtest it showed successfuly query against ldap.

Of course I spoke too early, although authtest works fine, running maildrop -d <virtual_user> still gets a "Invalid user specified." message. So now, there is no need for the /etc/maildrop/maildropldap.config file? Also I have courier-ldap, working and courier-imap working with ldap fine.

You might not like the following from a security viewpoint (suid/sgid programs can enable privilege escalation in certain circumstances), but standard maildrop binary perms are 755. Try 'chmod u+s,g+s `which maildrop`' as root. The reason is that maildrop has to be able to change euid to the uid calling it. See the maildrop INSTALL file for a more detailed discussion.

When I try this, it returns nothing. Another thing I dont understand is how when running maildrop -V 9 -d <virtual_account> < msg as root, the mail goes to the correct user's mailbox that it retrieves from LDAP, but running it as the vmail user (how it is configured to run in the master.cf file) it retrieves the right information from LDAP, but still insists on putting the message in a Maildir it creates on its own.

vmail@mta1:~$ maildrop -V 4 -d virtual_user < msg maildrop: authlib: groupid=1001 # vmail uid gid maildrop: authlib: userid=1001 maildrop: authlib: logname=virtual_user, home=/home/vmail/domains, mail=tsch.biz/virtual_user/ maildrop: Changing to /home/vmail # This is wrong, why here, why not what it retrieved from LDAP above? Message start at 0 bytes, envelope sender=vmail /etc/courier/maildroprc(6): MAILDROP="/usr/bin/maildrop" /etc/courier/maildroprc(11): Opening logfile /var/log/maildrop /etc/courier/maildroprc(12): VERBOSE="9" vmail@mta1~$

As root: mta1:~# maildrop -V 4 -d virtual_user < /home/me/msg maildrop: authlib: groupid=1001 maildrop: authlib: userid=1001 maildrop: authlib: logname=virtual_user, home=/home/vmail/domains, mail=tsch.biz/virtual_user/ maildrop: Changing to /home/vmail/domains # Changes to the right dir here Message start at 0 bytes, envelope sender=virtual_user /etc/courier/maildroprc(6): MAILDROP="/usr/bin/maildrop" /etc/courier/maildroprc(11): Opening logfile /var/log/maildrop /etc/courier/maildroprc(12): VERBOSE="9" mta1:~#

See the difference? Run as root I get the test message in my inbox, run as vmail it goes into a maildir in /home/vmail, which is the user running the command.

mta1:~# ls -al /usr/bin/maildrop -rwsr-sr-x 1 root vmail 166684 2006-06-11 09:24 /usr/bin/maildrop

Is there anything else I may be missing?

Thanks again.
