Did you read the second part? "edit it to use maildrop".
Sure did, but it was the "Maildir" part that worried me...
Allow me one question: do you evaluate the documentation that ships with
software before you install it or right after installation? I find
maildrop(1) pretty clear.
INSTALL and README before install. the man pages don't install until the
software does, but I would expect everything I need to install and run an
MDA as an MDA should be in the former two docs. Nonetheless, I read
through the man pages and haven't found anything yet that would indicate
why qmail-start, when invoked with maildrop in delivery mode would spawn
in Mailbox delivery rather than Maildir, as long as the instructions in
INSTALL were followed. Perhaps -d is needed?
Then check the whole path to the maildrop filter file, you might find a
directory that is not executable.
/usr/local/etc/maildroprc is the filter file and the path is world
executable throughout. This shouldn't be this difficult...
Indeed, it's not. Try running maildrop manually, with -V option if
necessary, or try tracing it. (strace, truss, ktrace, trace)
Runs fine manually. Thanks for trying.
