[courier-users] filtering and forwarding mail to another server help

Hi all. We're trying to set up a courier mail server that will filter
all e-mail, and add SpamAssassin headers, and then forward on to another mail
server. We also have all our users in LDAP. We can't get it to work, and
any
general tips would be appreciated.

The way we've approached the problem so far is to use courierlocal to
push the messages through maildrop, which adds the SpamAssassin headers, and
then forwards the message to an installation of the "postfix" mail server.
The problem with this approach is that it keeps saying:

Oct 27 17:30:59 jupiter courierlocal: No such file or directory
Oct 27 17:30:59 jupiter courierlocal:
id=008C805D.4541B5AE.00003E20,from=<sysadmin@sunet .com.au>,addr=<pbch@sunet.com.au>,status:
deferred

Basically, if we create home directories for all our users on this
machine, then it will work. But we don't *want* them to have home
directories
here.

I looked at using the authldap stuff instead of pam_ldap, but a) this
seems to require home directories anyway, and b) I wasn't 100% sure that
courier-mta used this, since it seemed to be oriented to courier-imap.

What would be ideal is if we could work out some way to push the
e-mail through maildrop, and then into the esmtp output module for remote
delivery.

Any ideas on either a different approach or help towards fixing our
problems would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim
