Steganography was not intended. I'll try again, new patch attached.

That if that user normally uses LDAP-based lookups, using maildrop's
LDAP support the transport solution as given in MAILDROP_README will
disenable all Postfix LDAP-based lookups.

Oh.

A quota warning when 70% of the quota has been exceeded. People who use
maildrop will presumably have read the maildrop docs and know that. In
my case, I have LDAP-based quotas (an attribute of the objectclass
courierMailAccount). I've omitted it in the revised patch.

Of course, that's the whole point. The transport solution as given in
the README will obviate all recipient validation when using maildrop
with LDAP support. Try it for yourself ;)

No comment. I presume that people who use maildrop, procmail, anything
will have at least a modicum of understanding of the tool that they have
chosen to work with.
