The location is system dependent. if your courier (imap, pop, webmail)
works, it's ok.

well... squirrelmail doesn't access that files. what you mean is that
your imap server is working.

don't create random files. ok for testing. but now, remove'em.

well, you asked it to read from a file named "1". use "< /dev/null"
instead.

so your maildrop was not built with authlib support. as a result, it
can't query authdaemon. with authlib support, you get something like:

$ maildrop -v
maildrop 2.0.4 Copyright 1998-2005 Double Precision, Inc.
GDBM extensions enabled.
Courier Authentication Library extension enabled.
Maildir quota extension enabled.

License. See COPYING for additional information.


look at the "Courier Authentication Library extension enabled." line.

if the mailbox location or uid/gid is "dynamic", yiu'll need to
reinstall maildrop with authlib support.

if the mailbox location is "static" (for example
/base/domain/user/maildir/) and you use a single uid:gid for all
mailboxes, then you can run maildrop with -d mailboxuid and have
maildroprc determine the mailbox path.

if you got this as root, then you have a problem. any selinux, apparmor,
... ?

you create it. but the location is system dependent. so you'll have to
fins out whether your maildrop uses this file. this is easy: just put
random stuff there and see maildrop barking for syntax errors...
