I have a working qmail server that's been running fine for a year. It handles
over a hundred virtual domains. I have lots of .qmail-xxx files for forwarding
and delivering incoming mail to specific mailboxes and it's all been working
fine.
I'm trying to set up a filter that reads incoming mail. I wrote the filter,
tested it at the command line, then installed it in my .qmail-default file in
my home directory:
# .qmail-default
|/bin/python mailfilter.py
./Maildir/
When I send mail to myself it goes to my maildir but the filter isn't executed.
In fact NOTHING I put in the .qmail-default file is executed. I tried:
|touch /home/greg/qmail-was-here
But that didn't do anything, either.
On my server qmail is running with ./Maildir/ as the default delivery option
(from the qmail-start command). As best I can tell the .qmail-default file in
my home directory is not even looked at when delivering mail, but all of the
other .qmail-xxx-default files for the virtual domains are working.
All of the .qmail-* files in my home directory are owned by user greg and have
the same permissions: rwxr--r--.
Mail delivery is working; messages go into my Maildir just fine.
I have reloaded and restarted qmail.
My virtualdomains and rcpthosts files are correct, and my local domain is in
both files. The server routinely receives and delivers mail to local users.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
