Hi all,

I'm looking for a 'Maildrop + Qmail for Dummies' guide/faq/howto etc: just a simple generic minimal configuration that can demonstrate proof of concept.

Here's the deal: i run a debian stable host. I just installed qmail which is functioning, as far as I can tell, correctly. I am running it with procmail via the following .qmail in users' $HOME dir:

| preline /usr/bin/procmail

My procmail recipes are working fine, delivering to Maildir folders.

I have tried making the above look like this:

| preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop

with the following recipe in $HOME/.mailfilter:

==snip==

HOME="/home/eric" MAILHOME=$HOME/Maildir/

# Trashing test messages if (/^Subject:test$/:h) { exception { to /home/eric/Maildir/INBOX.Trash/ } }

if (/^Subject:.*[ ]test$/:h) { exception { to /home/eric/Maildir/INBOX.Trash/ } }

==snip==

With those two statements, immediately above, in place in .qmail and .mailfilter, delivery of mail with the subject "test" does not happen. I don't know where test messages go either. If I return to my procmail configuration, they appear in my INBOX.

I wanted to look at the archives but the link on the listinfo page is broken.

Best,
