In what file?

# kdump| grep -w NAMI | egrep -v '(lib/|ktrace)'
  6307 maildrop NAMI  "/etc/ld.so.conf"
  6307 maildrop NAMI  "/etc/malloc.conf"
  6307 maildrop NAMI  "/pkg/courier-0.39.1/etc/userdb.dat"
  6307 maildrop NAMI  "/etc/nsswitch.conf"
  6307 maildrop NAMI  "/etc/pwd.db"
  6307 maildrop NAMI  "/etc/pwd.db"

These are the only files besides libraries that maildrop even
attempts to read.

Sounds like I need to reinstall the standalone version.  I built the
suite in order to use maildrop, courierpop, and courierimap; I'm not
using your MTA.  If courierpop were available separately like
courierimap, I wouldn't have built the suite at all.

I use Courier POP, Courier IMAP, and standalone Maildrop, using postfix as
MTA, not Courier MTA. All came as separately available packages, from
Debian unstable. I didn't have to compile anything.

Sounds like it might be a packaging issue.

Sam offers sqwebmail, maildrop, and courier-imap as standalone
packages, but not courier-pop, as far as I can tell.  Some Debian
maintainer did the work of packaging courier-pop separately.  That's
nice for Debian users, but it doesn't help me.

Some of us like compiling everything ourselves, btw.  Not only is it
often necessary in a large and complex enough environment, it's also a
nice way to get some familiarity with how the software is structured.

The POP3 server is in the Courier-IMAP package.

Installation problem

Hello!!!
1)I am facing a problem with maildrop, initially maildrop was 
installed but cud not be configured i.e for those users whose 
./qmail file had the entry |maildrop the mails are not deliverd at 
all, is it because maildrop is not installed properly,
I thought that this could be the reason so tried installing 
maildrop
i have been doing these changes in config.h file
     * change DEFAULT_DEF to: #define DEFAULT_DEF ``./Maildir''
     * add this line: #define MAILBOX_MODE ``0600''
     * change TRUSTED_USERS to: #define TRUSTED_USERS ``root mail 
daemon qmaild alias''
(hey what quotes should these be "./Maildir" or ''maildir'' or 
``maildir``)
the error i get on using make command after this  is:
"no rule to make target'../rfc822/librfc822.a',needed by 
'maildrop'.stop
2)What is the best and right way to start the maildrop service 
after installation
Thanks
monali
