Problem with Courier + maildrop + ldap

Hello !!!

I have the following problem trying to put Courier LDAP
and (stand-alone) maildrop work together.


I use Debian with
- Courier 0.37.3-2.3
- OpenLdap 2.0.23-6.3
- maildrop 1.6.3
The maildrop is the standalone version made
to support virtual users and ldap.

The maildrop configuration specifies that spamassassin should be used
prior to delivery, which gives an indication to syslog whether maildrop
was invoked:
        xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -u user"

Maildrop works fine on its own, i.e. it queries the ldap server and
delivers the message to the maildir defined in ldap.
So, running:
    # cat foo | /usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop -d user@xxxxxxxxx

results in the following entries in /var/log/syslog:

Jan 26 16:13:56 aglet slapd[194]: daemon: conn=98 fd=19 connection from
IP=x.x.x.x:1201 (IP=0.0.0.0:34049) accepted.
Jan 26 16:13:56 aglet slapd[392]: conn=98 op=0 SRCH
base="ou=People,dc=xxx,dc=xxxx,dc=xx" scope=2
filter="(domainEmail=user@xxxxxxxxx)"
Jan 26 16:13:56 aglet slapd[392]: conn=98 op=0 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0
text=
Jan 26 16:13:56 aglet spamd[14460]: connection from localhost [ 127.0.0.1
] at port 1202
Jan 26 16:14:02 aglet spamd[17786]: identified spam (6.8/5.0) for
user:1000 in   6 seconds.
Jan 26 16:14:02 aglet slapd[194]: conn=-1 fd=19 closed

and the message is delivered without any problem.


Trying to achieve the same result, I simply insert the line
        DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop"
in /etc/courier/courierd.

Courier then works fine with LDAP and delivers mail to maildir,
but maildrop and spamassassin do not seem to be invoked;
courierlocal is used instead, as it is logged in syslog:

Jan 26 16:25:12 aglet courieresmtpd: started,ip=[::ffff:195.251.255.17]
Jan 26 16:25:13 aglet slapd[391]: conn=2 op=24 SRCH

Jan 26 16:25:13 aglet courierd: Waiting.  shutdown time=none, wakeup

Jan 26 16:25:13 aglet courierlocal:

17:15:02 2004, wakeup time=Mon Jan 26 17:15:02 2004, queuedelivering=0,
inprogress=0

So the question is:
Why is maildrop not used by Courier as MDA for local delivery ???

Any ideas, hints, suggestions ... would be most welcome.
Thanx in advance
