I use pipe. I'm a little confused by your comment because using -d makes maildrop to an authlib lookup. I was curious if there is a way to have Postfix place the user's $HOME into the enfironment that maildrop is executed in. Maybe not?

Sorry I guess I'm too newb to understand clearly. I use a maildrop transport that is executed via pipe, all defined in master.cf. Do I understand correctly that you are saying there is no $HOME lookup for a transport like maildrop?
