run maildrop manually:

# maildrop -V 4 -d $user < message.eml

and see what it says. adjust the verbosity level (the -V arg).

also try running the script manually (as the same uid as maildrop would
use).

That's because your script did not read the entire message from=20
standard input before terminating.

If maildrop detects that the external delivery program terminated before =
it=20
read the entire message, it interprets it as a crash, and a temporary=20
delivery failure.
