Hi, I am having problems trying to get maildrop working in my mail server. Have been using this configuration on a Redhat box for over a year and recently moved to a Gentoo solution. Getting maildrop to work is the only part that is failing.
To build the server, I have used the following gentoo documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml Everything is running well but I get permission problems when I try to introduce maildrop. I am getting the following errors in the qmail-send logs: @4000000042bdac521ae5d764 new msg 1109815 @4000000042bdac521ae5e704 info msg 1109815: bytes 1568 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 2638 uid 210 @4000000042bdac521d5d0954 starting delivery 4890: msg 1109815 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @4000000042bdac521d5dfb84 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @4000000042bdac522a5dbdc4 delivery 4890: deferral: maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox.//usr/bin/maildrop:_Unable_to_deliver_to_mailbox./ @4000000042bdac522a5dcd64 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 I have checked the permissions of all the maildrop related files and the maildir: xen2 qmail-send # ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop -rwxr-x--- 1 vpopmail mail 166816 May 18 19:25 /usr/bin/maildrop xen2 qmail-send # ls -la /etc/maildrop/mailfilter -rw------- 1 vpopmail vpopmail 545 May 18 20:28 /etc/maildrop/mailfilter This is my .qmail-default and corresponding mailfilter. xen2 qmail-send # cat /var/vpopmail/domains/hippotje.com/.qmail-default | /usr/bin/maildrop /etc/maildrop/mailfilter xen2 qmail-send # cat /etc/maildrop/mailfilter import EXT import HOST import HOME MAX = 15 VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] VPOP="| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" JUNKFOLDER=".Spam" if ($VHOME) { `test -d "$VHOME/.maildir/$JUNKFOLDER"` if( $RETURNCODE != 1 ) { if ( $SIZE < 262144 ) { exception { xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]" } } } if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) { to "$VHOME/.maildir/$JUNKFOLDER/" } else { to "$VHOME/.maildir/" } } else { to $VPOP } And finally -v output from maildrop. xen2 root # maildrop -v maildrop 1.8.0 Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc.
