Bug Description
Hi
I noticed a problem with mail delivery after upgrade to 15.04/vivid. Inspection of the logs revealed the following:
/*
AD2C9383706 1981 Sun Apr 26 18:06:01 <email address hidden>
(temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Bad command line arguments, -h for help.)
*/
(This was working fine before for years)
It seems that inclusion of support for this "-t" option (please see "Dovecot Authentication extension for maildrop", at http://
I currently implement maildrop into my setup as follows:
/*
/etc/postfix/
virtual_transport = maildrop
/etc/postfix/
maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/
*/
Assuming that the removal of this auth mechanism from maildrop was an intended change (?), then could somebody kindly advise what the best method one could now use now to achieve such integrating between maildrop and postfix/dovecot, would be? In the meanwhile I'll have to compile from source until this can be addressed..

You didn't specify the location of Dovecot auth socket.
Fortunately didn't need to recompile from source, just using old rpm... hopefully this can be fixed for next version!
