Do you mean you are sure the problem is permissions? If your authentication is based on /etc/passwd, then you do *real* users. > How to get around those permissions? I have no experience running courier with real users. I'd say, if users share a group, you may try and set group write permission on the target folder(s). However, to learn exactly what failure does your script incur into, you should run maildrop manually at the relevant verbosity level, and possibly strace it. > I've seen examples on the web where people did that but never explained that > they needed to do anything extra.

You may also try sharing folders properly. Again, shared folders come with two distinct flavors: Virtual and Filesystem permissions-based.
