Public bug reported:

Hi

I noticed a problem with mail delivery after upgrade to 15.04/vivid.
Inspection of the logs revealed the following:

/*
AD2C9383706     1981 Sun Apr 26 18:06:01  r...@domain.com
(temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Bad command line 
arguments, -h for help.)
                                         r...@domain.com
*/

(This was working fine before for years)

It seems that inclusion of support for this "-t" option (please see
"Dovecot Authentication extension for maildrop", at
http://wiki.dovecot.org/maildrop), has been missed or removed for the
version of maildrop  which ships with 15.04

I currently implement maildrop into my setup as follows:

/*
/etc/postfix/mail.cf:
virtual_transport = maildrop

/etc/postfix/master.cf:
maildrop  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} -t 
/var/run/dovecot/auth-master
*/

Assuming that the removal of this auth mechanism from maildrop was an
intended change (?), then could somebody kindly advise what the best
method one could now use now to achieve such integrating between
maildrop and postfix/dovecot, would be? In the meanwhile I'll have to
compile from source until this can be addressed..
