What about "please reply on-list" does not compute?

I don't remember if you can send random text instead of a real message
thru maildrop. Furthermore, I think you have to run the maildrop
binary as the user who is permissioned to do so, which is probably
your error 13.

Check your maildrop binary ownership and ask these questions on the
maildrop users list instead.
