I'm trying to call maildrop from fetchmail, and I've seen reports that I
need to set environment variables to make everything work well.

What environment variables does maildrop require to deliver mail
successfully?  I'm assuming that I will need a properly defined $HOME, but
I'm not sure if that is all.  If I have a variable called $HOME, that does
not appear to be fine; does it look for the environment value specifically?

The standalone maildrop build uses getpwuid() to identify the account's home directory, and uses the compile-time configuration to determine the location of the default mailbox.
