I ran across a minor, but highly annoying issue in a recent toaster
migration and was wondering if anyone here had advice as to a
workaround. On both installs (old and the new), I have vpopmail
compiled with --enable-qmail-ext. I also used the qmailadmin to
--enable-modify-spam and set
--enable-spam-command=|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop
/home/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter . This worked great on the old system
and also worked when someone used a "qmail-ext" - in other words,
emails addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] both got run
through the corresponding mailfilter - because the .qmail file right
outside of Maildir (the one placed there by qmailadmin) was read in
either scenario.
With the latest toaster that I migrated to - only emails without
"-ext" (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) run through mailfilter as normal. The
rest (i.e. emails addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) just get dropped in
the inbox and so maildrop never has a chance to run. For people who
get a lot of spam sent to their "-ext" addresses, this can be annoying
because all that spam that used to get deleted or dropped into a Spam
folder is now going to the Inbox. On the old server, I was running
vpopmail-5.4.1 / toaster-scripts-0.6 / qmailadmin-1.2.1 /
maildrop-1.6.3 and on the new server I am running the most recent
toaster: vpopmail-5.4.18 / toaster-scripts-0.9.0 / qmailadmin-1.2.11
/ maildrop-2.0.4
Tried to Google for the answer for a while, but found nothing - also
searched the list archives. I apologize if this issue is obvious /
already covered. I am hoping there is some workaround that I can use
to bypass this issue. Any help is appreciated.

Tom Collins posted this email on the vpopmail mailing list concerning
this issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg25622.html
At least I think it may be concerning this issue - I am not familiar
with the code and can only read C to the extent that I can program in
Perl. Basically, when address extensions are delivered, vdelivermail
(with the current toaster version) completely ignores .qmail files and
just delivers to Maildir. So the the .qmail file created by qmailadmin
is overlooked. Using the current toaster code it looks like this:
#ifdef QMAIL_EXT
/* format the file name */
if (strlen(TheExt)) {
strcpy(tmpbuf,".qmail-");
strcat(tmpbuf,TheExt);
if ( (fs = fopen(tmpbuf,"r")) == NULL ) {
for (i=strlen(TheExt);i>=0;--i) {
if (!i || TheExt[i-1]=='-') {
strcpy(tmpbuf,".qmail-");
strncat(tmpbuf,TheExt,i);
strcat(tmpbuf,"default");
if ( (fs = fopen(tmpbuf,"r")) != NULL) {
break;
}
}
}
}
} else {
fs = fopen(".qmail","r");
}
#else
fs = fopen(".qmail","r");
#endif
/* no .qmail file at all */
if (fs == NULL ) {
/* no file, so just return */
return(-1);
}
But according to Tom it should look like this (I think):
fs = NULL;
#ifdef QMAIL_EXT
/* format the file name */
if (strlen(TheExt)) {
strcpy(tmpbuf,".qmail-");
strcat(tmpbuf,TheExt);
if ( (fs = fopen(tmpbuf,"r")) == NULL ) {
for (i=strlen(TheExt);i>=0;--i) {
if (!i || TheExt[i-1]=='-') {
strcpy(tmpbuf,".qmail-");
strncat(tmpbuf,TheExt,i);
strcat(tmpbuf,"default");
if ( (fs = fopen(tmpbuf,"r")) != NULL) {
break;
}
}
}
}
}
#endif
if (fs == NULL) fs = fopen (".qmail", "r");
/* no .qmail file at all */
if (fs == NULL ) {
/* no file, so just return */
return(-1);
}
Am I heading in the right direction here? I don't completely feel
familiar/comfortable doing this, so thought I would ask the list. Can I
just update the vdelivermail.c, run a make clean, run make again, and
then just overwrite the existing vdelivermail with the new version
(after backing it up of course)?
