I am attempting to configure sendmail to pass mail addressed to a particular domain to maildrop. maildrop is already installed and used with getmail to collect mail from a number of pop accounts. It has been installed as user:vmail group:vmail. This existing setup works fine. I've added the following to the sendmail configuration: in /etc/mail/virtusertable ... @second.domain.tld second-domain-tld and in /etc/mail/aliases ... second-domain-tld: "| /usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ws@first.domain.tld" It looks as though it's ready to work except for this in /var/log/maillog: ... Dec 25 17:05:19 maildrop[75657]: Cannot set my user or group id. Presumably this is because maildrop wants to set itself to run as user:vmail and the existing setup I have works as-is because getmail (which calls maildrop) is configured to run as user:vmail in /etc/crontab. Either I need to find a way to allow maildrop to change itself to user:vmail when called from sendmail (which I don't know how to achieve) or I need to change maildrop to run as (I'm guessing) user:root which if memory serves was something that was suggested to be avoided. What would be the best approach? Thanks, Wayne
