If Postfix is not invoking mailrop to deliver mail, you should ask for help 
on the Postfix mailing list.

Dear Sam ,
        Many thanks for your fast responding .
Did you mean this happening because of postfix miss-config instead of 
maildrop miss-config ?

Thanks .

Well, you have apparently proven that if you invoke maildrop correctly, the 
right thing happens. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that maidrop is 
not being invoked properly, by Postfix. It's probably some configuration 
issue, so it sounds like running your Postfix config by the postfix mailing 
list is the best way to find out what's not set correctly.

Re: Maildrop & .mailfilter problems .

Dear Sam ,
       I found something special that's may be a hints could find out what 
cause the maildrop can't be run .mailfilter  on my machine.

       please take a look the test shown as below.

Test 1:
cat /etc/issue | sudo -u vmail maildrop -V -d data.leung <at> test.com
maildrop: Unable to open filter file, errno=2.

Test 2 :
cat /etc/issue | sudo -u vmail maildrop -V 6  -d data.leung <at> test.com
< result is all right >

for these two test. .mailfilter also locate in 
/home/vmail/domains/.mailfilter

By the way . What's the different between -V 6 & -V under CMD enviorment ?

Thanks .

postfix virtual_mailbox_maps?

Hi all,

How exactly does one configure maildrop to know the mappings specified
in the postfix virtual_mailbox_maps file?  I followed the
postfix+maildrop howto:

http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html

but the result is:

Aug  5 21:51:39 hostname postfix/pipe[3088]: 23066246EE:
to=<postmaster <at> hostname>, relay=maildrop, delay=0, status=bounced (user
unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified. )

Manually, same result:

[root <at> rimumail new]# cat /tmp/email |maildrop -V 5 -d postmaster
Invalid user specified.

Mail delivery and everything works great until I add the lines
maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1
virtual_transport = maildrop

My configuration is just as in that howto;
main.cf:

...
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
virtual_mailbox_domains = firstname_lastname.com
firstname2_lastname2.com firstname3_lastname3.com

Don't! Don't configure virtual maidirs in Postfix. Have Postfix hand off 
to maildrop in master.cf:

maildrop        unix            -       n       n       -       -       pipe
         flags=DRhu user=vmail
         argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -w 80 -d ${user} ${sender} ${recipient}
    ${extension} ${user}

Keep

maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1
maildrop_destination_concurrency_limit = 1

in main.cf

Instead of vmail use your own global, virtual user.

Configure Courier authlib to support virtual maildirs and a virtual, 
global user. Here's an example for ldap; if you're using pam, SQL or 
userdb your configuration will be different:

LDAP_URI                ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fslapd%2fldapi/,

Oh yes, and you'll have to have at least one entry for this in your 
transport map:

localhost               maildrop:
my-mailserver.tld	maildrop:

If it's to be a hash file, don't forget to postmap it.
