I'm testing ISPConfig and postfix on Ubuntu 13.04 with courier-imap 0.68.2 and seeing this weird error where the senders address is being used as part of the user home path... Apr 10 22:55:06 hp maildrop[17807]: Unable to create a dot-lock at /var/vmail/[email protected]/goldcoast.org/17807.0.hp. The above path should be more like... /var/vmail/goldcoast.org/markc/17807.0.hp. so I don't think this is a simple case of incorrect permissions. I put a script in place of /usr/bin/maildrop... ~ ll /usr/bin/maildrop* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 78 Apr 10 13:07 /usr/bin/maildrop* -rwsr-xr-x 1 root daemon 196000 Jan 23 23:32 /usr/bin/maildrop.orig* ~ cat /usr/bin/maildrop #!/bin/sh (echo $*; id ; env) | logger -p mail.info /usr/bin/maildrop.orig $* And the result is below just after the above dot-lock error...

ATM this is with courier-maildrop and postfix 2.10.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
