Hi,

I use Debian Woody with stock Postfix (1.1.11-0.woody3) and Maildrop (1.3.7-2) and I have problems to deliver any mail. The log shows me this error for each mail: Jan 11 18:43:30 tinkerbell postfix/local[20791]: DEAEA35953:
to=<ro@tinkerbell.yoo.local>, relay=local, delay=9686, status=deferred
(temporary failure. Command output: /root maildrop: Invalid home directory
permissions - world writable. )

This is called from Postfix using mailbox_command = maildrop

Now of course I checked all permissions of any home directory I could think of (namely root's and the one of the user the mail is aliased to), but they are not world writable.

What is Maildrop crying about? What am I missing?

What can I do to isolate the error?

tia, Thorsten
