Hello Sam,

Invoke maildrop with the -V9 option for more information. Follow-ups to the maildrop list.

As you can see, i use maildrop in delivery-mode.

Maildrop is configured in /etc/postfix/master.cf with:

maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=ODRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${user}@${nexthop} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop}

The manpage tell's me that verbose-mode will not be used if maildrop is invoked with -d <user>.

Nevertheless I tried to use maildrop not in delivery-mode by this command-line:

mail:/# /usr/bin/maildrop -V 9 us@example.com us@example.com \ user example.com

Starting maildrop this way results in a blank cursor on the next line and no other output.

This commandline seems to be equivalent to the invocation by the postfix pipe command. Of course I used an existing user/domain/email with an mailbox on the machine.

Starting maildrop by

mail:/# /usr/bin/maildrop -V 9 maildrop: Changing to /root

results in the above output and a blank cursor.

What does maildrop exspect a further input (on the blank cursor)? I tried to paste a whole mail but this didn't seem to work.

Thomas
