The people who provided the MAILDROP_README information obviously
did not experience this problem.

This might tip you off that perhaps you made a mistake somewhere.

When maildrop, running with the UNIX privileges of the recipient,

basic file permission problem.

Postfix documentation does not provide a UNIX file permission
tutorial.
