Then I reread your maildrop page again and sure enough... -V is ignored when maildrop runs in delivery mode. http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/maildrop.html These 2 paragraphs seem to be the most relevant but at no point is it obvious WHICH $HOME var is going to be used (getent or virtual) but if I reread the 2nd parargraph a few more times then it could be obvious that it was referring to the virtual $HOME (the one I want). > If a filename is not specified on the command line, or if the -d > option is used, maildrop will run in delivery mode.

See the makeuserdb(1) manual page in the Courier > Authentication library's documentation for more information. Anyway, it seems to be working. I can set the getent $HOME to be root owned (so that I can use SFTP/SSH chroots) and still have mail delivered inside that area to the virtual $HOME as was possible with the courier-maildrop deb package.
