Make sure you check permissions on the mailfilter file. Should be vchkpw.vpopmail and chmod 600
One thing you can do is echo out information to a temp file as you're running. `echo $HOME > /tmp/home.txt` I think that should work. May help in debugging. Are you running the latest version of maildrop? This seems to be turning more into a maildrop discussion than a vpopmail discussion. Email me direct and we can continue the discussion.
