It is the debian package version, the other, working box, also used the debian package for that distribution... so all I did was type 'apt-get install courier-maildrop' ... so I guess I have to track down the authors of that package and talk to them? I am just trying to get maildrop to deliver mail. Do you have any advice for how I can do that? Should I install it from source instead so that I can customize it in the way you say I need to do? Should I just use a different MDA? Thanks for your response.
