You could set the GID to 102, it would be neater but it doesn’t really matter. I will correct it later !

Thanks.

Don’t know what I’ve done. Any ideas?

Thanks, James.

Put

VERBOSE=”5″

in your mailfilter and look in awe at /var/log/mail.info whenever your maildrop goes aboogie

(it might help, but still..)

And: If you’re looking at making a per user setup, try something like this (works for me):

`test -f $MAILHOME/mailfilters/${USER}@${HOST}`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
{
#log ” == User $USER has own mailfilter, including $MAILHOME/mailfilters/${USER}@${HOST} …”
include “$MAILHOME/mailfilters/${USER}@${HOST}”
}

near the end but don’t forget a

to “$MAILHOME/$HOST/$USER/”

after that.

This assumes all individualized mailfilters in $MAILHOME/mailfilters/user@domain.tld …
(again: doesn’t work if shell is bin/false, at least on this end of things)

Btw: I just figured out why my setup didn’t work (meaning: mailfilter not working).

First of all, mailfilter’s a pain to debug.
2ndly: the logfile arg does take a full path (e.g. /var/log/maildrop.info otl) and writes to it if its owned by e.g. vmail|virtual|whatever your vuser is called. Which is great.

3rdly (and what took me hours to figure out): if you follow this guide and others on the net, you have wisely given let’s say vmail the /bin/false shell. However, if you decide to e.g

`test -d $DEFAULT`
if ( $RETUNRCODE != 0) { # do something }

this ends up always being called since test cannot return TRUE!

My solution was to put

SHELL=”/bin/sh” # or what flavour have you

on top of the global mailfilterrc.

I don’t know if this opens up a whole bunch of security issues, though. Any insights on this?

Thought I’d share this..
Thx
Chris

For some reason the changes that I started to make stopped me being able to retrieve my mail. Don’t know why it would say user unknown. Anyway, all seems to be OK now.

PS your mail is being bounced, user unknown !
