However, on both Debian and Ubuntu (also Arch Linux, using a package built from the AUR), even with courier-maildrop installed, it does not appear that maildrop is invoked by default to deliver local mail. Either that, or when maildrop is invoked in this manner, it *will* deliver mail to a user home directory with the sticky bit set.
The default Courier configuration does not use maildrop.
The courier online documentation suggests this should not be the case: http://www.courier-mta.org/local.html > Output module > > setuids to the user indicated in the host parameter. > If $HOME has the sticky bit set, defers the mail.
That's going to be corrected.
there are 2 points I'm trying to make in pointing this out, I guess: 1) the documentation is confusing, especially since courier-mta appears to differ from qmail in it's default behavior 2) I would welcome suggestions on how to temporarily defer mail delivery for one particular user, for both local and remote mail deliveries.
You could set DEFAULTDELIVERY to something like this: DEFAULTDELIVERY='| test -k $HOME && echo "Unavailable" && exit 1; exit 0 ./Maildir'DEFAULTDELIVERY is the default contents of $HOME/.courier, and can contain multiline delivery instructions.
Watch out for variables in the courierd config file. It is sourced as a shell script, hence the apostrophes.
