But wait, why not? The docs for export_environment say you can specify a list of name=value pairs that will go to the maildrop environment. Are you saying that this cannot be used to override $HOME in maildrop's environment? Or are you saying that I can't have Postfix use a lookup for one of the values in export_environment? > One possibnle solution is to have pipe(8) invoke a script that > queries your database and that invokes maildrop.
