    I attach the straced "/tmp/problem.log" gzipped

    Regards and LOT of thanks for the help, you are great guys!!!




  The strace output shows that vdelivermail executes maildrop

  31280 waitpid(31281,  <unfinished ...>
  31281 rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_DFL, [PIPE], SA_RESTART}, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, 
8) = 0
  31281 execve("/bin/sh", ["/bin/sh", "-c", "preline /usr/bin/maildrop"], [/* 
23 vars */]) = 0
  31281 brk(0)                            = 0x86ab000
   
  Also maildrop opens /var/mail/vpopmail
  31282 uname({sys="Linux", node="buzones_externos", ...}) = 0
  31282 open("/etc/maildroprc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
  31282 open(".mailfilter", O_RDONLY)     = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
  31282 stat64("/var/mail/vpopmail/tmp", 0xbfec5dc0) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a 
directory)
  31282 umask(077)                        = 07
  31282 open("/var/mail/vpopmail", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0666) = 4

If I remember correctly, if there is no other delivery or "end" in the maildrop 
script, it will default to delivery to the user who called maildrop, in this 
case vpopmail. I used to see this when first working with maildrop and not 
getting my delivery right. There may be a more precise description for what I 
just said, but as pointed out above, I would check your default maildrop 
script(/etc/maildroprc I think) or any custom scripts you might have in play.
