I think this is a completely different situation.

I don't know what you really did when you say "chmod -R root.root", What I 
mean is "chmod 700" (still correct owner) and then mail from the outside 
world to a nonexistant address.

In this case, existant addresses still work like a charm, but nonexistant 
addresses get identified *after* smtp dialog and therefore get bounced.

But as I said in the other mail: I don't use maildrop.

No, the thing is that you have a completely different setup.
