I tracked this down and discivered that running maildrop as an arbitrary non-root user fails with option -d (i.e. needing to access the courier-authdaemon) because this user has no filesystem rights to access /var/run/courier/authdaemon/socket because the authdaemon's directory is not accessible in the default setup: drwxr-x--- 2 daemon daemon 4096 Sep 1 15:34 /var/run/courier/authdaemon Doing a chmod a+x /var/run/courier/authdaemon solves the problem. But I don't know whether it is a good idea to do this in general. Probably it's better to chown this directory to group mail or something similar maildrop has access to.
