I found the problem. maildrop seems to not like it when it is called
with the user it becomes to deliver the mail. When I call it from my
normal user account, the mail is delivered correctly. And if I change
the user=vmail (which owns the mails and maildrop does setuid() to) to
user=mail, then everything's alright.
I'm pretty sure maildrop should not be setuid root, since postfix is
supposed to change to the user of the recipient before calling maildrop.
I would totally agree, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be
possible for the reasons stated above. I will fill a bug report.
Also, getuid() returns the real user ID, geteuid() returns the effective
user ID.
Ah, nice to know, maildrop only uses getuid(), maybe that's part of the
problem.
