Just a follow-up that I did end up fixing the Maildrop issue, mainly
due to this article I found:
http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/postfix
Thanks also to mouss for suggesting that I reconsider procmail!
Maildrop seems to be a bit more modern in its design.

Hello list,
I'm pretty new to Postfix still, but I've been reading through the
documentation on postfix.org and have come to the conclusion that
the
setup guide I followed (http://articles.slicehost.com/email)
offers a
pretty good starting point. However, I'd like to use procmail in
some
cases, which doesn't seem to work with my virtual/MySQL setup.
What would be the best way to do that? I'm assuming I'd need to
intervene in the delivery process sometime before the virtual
mailbox
stuff happens, but I wasn't totally clear about how to actually do
that.
Here's how my setup works now:
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up in /home/vmail/domain1.com/me
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up in /home/vmail/domain1.com/user
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up in /home/vmail/domain2.com/user
Here's how I'd like it to work:
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up in /home/me, filtered according to my
procmail rules
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up in /home/vmail/domain1.com/user
Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ends up in /home/vmail/domain2.com/user
it is easier to use maildrop. so if you can change your mind, now
it is
the time. if so, take a look at
http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html
I was only thinking procmail because it's what I've used in the
past. Maildrop seems to fulfill my needs.
The problem I'm running into now is my virtual mailbox path is being
ignored by maildrop. Instead of respecting the /home/vmail/
domain.com/user pattern of virtual delivery it seems to drop
everything into an mbox file called (strangely) Maildir.
I'm assuming this is some deficient configuration on the Courier
side of things, and maybe pushing into off-topic territory. But if
you guys have any suggestions, I'd be interested in hearing about
them.
Thanks,
-Dan
