More guessing (as I'm still not clear on the specifics of what is failing)... Is sendmail running as user:smmsp when it's calling maildrop? That would explain why maildrop isn't able to change itself to user:vmail, no? Should setting the setuid bit circumvent this? When I try that I get: Dec 26 15:08:20 maildrop[93442]: You are not a trusted user. where I guess "You" = smmsp? If this is the case, then it must be a problem for any program run from /etc/mail/aliases, is this just too hard to do on a default FreeBSD? Still out of my depth here but learning a bit more. :) Wayne
