Well, from what I've read, I thought switching courier's delivery from local to maildrop is a matterof putting: DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop"inside /usr/lib/courier/etc/courierd, replacing whatever was in its place,
Yes.
copying /usr/lib/courier/etc/maildrop
as maildropfilter,
No. That's something else.
and placing filter instructions in /usr/lib/courier/etc/maildroprc, no?
No. All that does is provide the default, global, mail filtering instructions. As far as enabling maildrop for local mail delivery, this is done by setting DEFAULTDELIVERY.
You did not specify which authentication modules you're using, but if you're using ones that allow a mail account to explicitly specify the location of its mailbox, that essentially overrides DEFAULTDELIVERY. This is a common problem experienced by those who follow the suggestion on some web site to set up all your mail accounts that either share the same home directory and differ only in their mailbox pathname; or set both the home directory and the mailbox pathname to be the same. Doing so severely limits one's options and makes it impossible to use maildrop.
To use maildrop you must configure your mail accounts to look like real accounts: each one has its own home directory, and its mailbox is $HOME/Maildir.
