Hi all,

 	Maybe it's not a FBSD problem, but I think someone here have the 
answer.
 	I'm trying to use maildrop as MDA with sendmail, but I'm facing 
some troubles.
 	That is, since some of my local users don't have defined a home 
dir, when maildrop is set to delivery mode (-d $u) in sendmail.cf, as 
shown in sendmail docs:

FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop -d $u')

  the following message starts to show:

Aug 15 11:43:25 host1 maildrop[75586]: Unable to change to home directory.

 	If, on the other hand, I set it in sendmail as in manual mode:

FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop /usr/local/etc/maildroprc')

 	The maildrop processes start to grow, and the following message 
starts to show:

Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: timeout waiting for 
input from host1.mydomain.com during client greeting

Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: smtpquit: mailer local 
exited with exit value 75

 	It seems that no message body is sent to maildrop.
 	Does any of you have successfully configured maildrop+sendmail in 
an scenario like that?
