[maildropl] maildrop does not deliver if SHELL in passwd is /bin/false

[Wari W. <wa...@wa...>]

In our system, we need to restrict certain users from login in (either
SSH or telnet or even console).. For that we used /bin/false or
/bin/passwd for their shell, if this happens and the user has got a
.mailfilter file, mail would not get delivered and would be send to the
bitbucket (The error returned is a 1 and not EXTEMP_FAIL, or something
like that).. With /bin/passwd, at least I can see the error of maildrop
trying to run passwd -c somecommand...

Now, what should I do, will smrsh (stolen from sendmail) help? And is
there any other thing I can do than to try out smrsh myself? Please
help.

My mail server is running postfix, and I run maildrop as I used the
sqwebmail/maildrop integration. Thanks
