The home directory of www-data is probably /var/www, and for a good reason, it belongs to root. DO NOT CHANGE THIS. But maildrop will not deliver mail if the home directory (/var/www) does not belong to www-data. and this again is for a good reason. so the best you can do is stop trying to deliver mail to www-data. use another user. if you have a php/whatever script that you run from apache and needs access to the mail, then simply create another user, say www-mail, with a home directory of /var/www/www-mail. then use this instead of www-d...@*. More generally, do not "reuse" unix accounts. create as many accounts as you need, and avoid accounts that have multiple roles. This is part of the "minimalist" approach in security.
