Yes, you meant to change that to /home/john.doe, and as Sam said you're better off showing us the real output so that typos get taken off the table as possibilities.

Is correct the home directory permissions?

hopefully yes, the permission is right, I use nscd to cache the user info from ldap. drwx------ 3 john.doe john.doe 4096 Jun 19 16:47 /home/john.doe/

What about the Maildir underneat it? What about the cur,tmp,new subdirectories under that?

Make sure the uid and gid (10673 and 10027) match the username and groupname.

try to run maildrop by hand (with the user) in verbose mode, to get all output.

maildrop -V 3 -d john.doe maildrop: Changing to /home/john.doe maildrop: Unable to change to home directory.

Are you logging the output to a maildrop specific log file? Look there for more info. If worse comes to worse, strace the delivery and make sure it's changing user to the correct user. Is your /home an nfs mount? Root squash can cause these kinds of issues. - -- Regards...
