Hi, I have been happily running qmail with qmailadmin and sqwebmail and after joining a heavy traffic mailing list, I needed to use something to filter my incoming email. I chose to set up maildrop. There seems to not be a definitive guide to setting this configuration up - just lots of disparate sources of information, so I need some help.

I have set DEFAULT_DEF to "./Maildir" in the maildrop/config.h file in the source tree. Then I compiled the src.

I have a virtual user with a .qmail file which has the following line in it: "| /usr/local/bin/maildrop -d abhinav"

Then I set up maildirfilterconfig file under with these settings in it: MAILDIRFILTER=../.mailfilter MAILDIR=./Maildir

the mailfilter file holds the following (which I set up through sqwebmail):

------------------------------

FROM='abhi...@winston.zip.com.au' import SENDER if ($SENDER eq "") { SENDER=$FROM }

##Op:hasrecipient ##Header: ##Value:mtb...@topica.com ##Folder:.MTB-OZ ##From: ##PlainString ##Name:mtb-oz

if ((hasaddr("mtb...@topica.com"))) { to "./Maildir/.MTB-OZ/." }

to "./Maildir/." -----------------------------------

So, when I set the .qmail file, I am getting the following error (/var/log/maillog):

"deferral: /usr/local/bin/maildrop:_Cannot_set_my_user_or_group_id./"

I am sure that I am missing a bunch of things here...could someone please help me out?

Many thanks in advance...
