try this:

# su vmail
% maildrop -V 6 -d someuser < /dev/null

you must make sure that maildrop can read /etc/maildroprc and all 
.mailfilter files. In particular, make sure parent directories must be 
accessible.

selinux is also a common source of surprises. check /var/log/messages 
(or other) for any selinux logs.
