Hello, I have been running a virtual host setup on debian lenny with 
postfix/mysql/courier  with maildrop as the MDA.

All worked fine and then I set up a new box with debian squeeze and 
tried to do the same thing with the same config.

On the new box, instead of mail being delivered to the user in Maildir 
format, it is all being deposited in a Mbox file
called Maildir in the 'home' directory.   This has to be some simple 
misconfiguration but I sure can't figure out what do
do.


Mysql has a database called vmail where maildrop looks up where to 
deliver the mail.  That seems to be working it is
making the correct query and running maildrop at the command line seems 
to indicate it is getting the right responses.


maildrop -V9 -d [email protected]
maildrop: authlib: groupid=503
maildrop: authlib: userid=503
maildrop: authlib: [email protected], home=/home/vmail, 
mail=example.com/j/exampleuser/
maildrop: Changing to /home/vmail
Message start at 0 bytes, envelope [email protected]
maildrop: Attempting .mailfilter

well that's where it dies.  Contrast with the older box, same 
configuration but Maildrop 2.04 instead of 2.50

maildrop -V9 -d [email protected]
maildrop: authlib: groupid=503
maildrop: authlib: userid=503
maildrop: authlib: [email protected], home=/home/vmail, 
mail=domain.com/j/exampleuser/
maildrop: Changing to /home/vmail
Message start at 0 bytes, envelope [email protected]
Tokenized exception
Tokenized {
Tokenized ;
Tokenized logfile

etc, etc, and the mail is delivered properly.

A couple things I'm not clear on... where am I telling it to look for 
the mailfilter?  On the box that works
they are in a folder called mailfilters under /home/vmail/ .... I have 
the same directory on the new box but it seems like
it is not finding it.   And looking at the config on the working box I 
don' see where I told it to look for it there either.
(It's been a few years since I set that up.)

Maildrop also doesn't seem to know to 'use' the Maildir format, instead 
it's thinking Maildir is the mailbox even though I
have home_mailbox = Maildir/ in my postfix config file..

Help please!
