Yes, we do that at this site.

What on earth is this code supposed to do, and why? It wouldn't do
whatever the author intends.

It's not possible for maildrop (certainly not for IMAP) to make a user's
or virtual user's $HOME directory. That has to exist first, mkdir or
siblings in one form or another is used for this - both for shell users
and virtual users. maildirmake can not be used for this. maildirmake
makes structural Maildirs and populates them with certain info (files
and a directory) necessary for Courier IMAP.
It is possible for maildrop to make $HOME/Mailbox - and subfolders -
using maildirmake, if they don't exist.

Use pam_mkhomedir for shell users or a script for virtual or Samba users
to create $HOME, then use maildirmake:
`test -d $HOME/Maildir/`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir/`
}
or, if $HOME is set to /home/vmail/$OU/$UID (in authldaprc or whatever):
OU=`echo $HOME | cut -d/ -f4`
UID=`echo $HOME | cut -d/ -f5`
VHOME="/home/vmail/$OU/$UID"
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/usr/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/`
}
> Any ideas or other solutions / patches for maildrop?
No patches are necessary. maildrop can do a lot bore besides, the
maildrop list is the correct place for this.
