If that's the case, then maildrop is not being invoked to delivery to this
user; Courier will deliver the message itself.

That error message must have some other origin.


Can you give me a hint at what origins we are talking about? I see this in the logs:

Sep 24 09:05:35 raw courierlocal:
id=002DCE13.415429A3.00000BF3,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 
Mailbox full.

Well, where do you see here a reference to maildrop?

There is no reference to running maildrop here, this is Courier delivering to the mailbox itself. The first delivery instruction is "./Maildir", this maildir is full, so the delivery fails.

What is the best way to deliver mail to both a local maildir, and to
forward a copy to a remote address? (admin level setting is OK)

Your original .courier file does that. If you want to forward a copy even if delivery to Maildir fails because it's full, do the forward first, then deliver to Maildir. Very simple.
