Package: courier-mta
Version: 0.53.2-3
Severity: important

I changed the default delivery mode of Courier MTA by uncommenting the
following line in /etc/courier/courierd

DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop"

and in the same file I have, by default,

MAILDROPDEFAULT=./Maildir

But the above setting will not affect the maildrop command given by
the maildrop package. maildrop will keep delivering mails to
/var/spool/mail instead of ~/Maildir because it will not read the
environment variables set by courier.

I can of course set the DEFAULT variable in /etc/maildroprc or install
the courier-maildrop package to get this to work as expected. But
inorder to avoid this confusion, I think it is good to introduce a
conflict in the courier-mta package with the maildrop and add
courier-maildrop to the Suggests/Recommends list.

Racke, I would also like to refer to the mail sent in resopose to your
query by Sam on the courier-user list.
