I'm really about to throw this damn server through a closed window (or better yet a brick wall). I've searched high and low on google for a straight answer, and any references in mailing lists give an answer of read the INSTALL file (as if thats supposed to solve everything). I have virtual users for email in postfix, and I want to use maildrop to deliver to the virtual mailboxes. Problem is, when it does use maildrop it shows an error in the logs as the subject line says. I've tried everything, checked everything. That supposed magic solution in the INSTALL file says only ONE thing needs to be set to get it to work. Maildrop is owned by root and group is mail. The socket is rwx globally (all this is set by the port install). The executing user for pipe in postfix is vmail. I've installed the port with authlib and gdbm (even manually adjusted the makefile to ensure --enable-userdb). Nada. The generally consensus is that it should work out of the box- so what the hell am I doing wrong? Where should I be looking? Specifically: what is not authenticating? I can manually test maildrop ok. So wtf? You'll have to excuse my language here- I'm not sure how much hair I have left after working on this for several days...
