Hi All

New to this I'm afraid. Have a new install of Gentoo with bincimap for imap and getmail for collection. I'm trying to use maildrop for filtering the messages into the relevant folders.

Two questions:

Filtering: I cannot get this to work - when I run getmail from the command line I get file dot-lock errors, when I run it from cron I get no error reported in the log but the messages do not arrive at there destination?

Simple test rule below I've been using to test this, Do I have the syntax or something else wrong? (Located in ~zac/.mailfilter , /etc/maildroprc is empty)

Second question, I receive mail from many account all forwarded into this email account, I do not seem to be receiving the mail from some of these accounts when using this setup, could this be due to the maildrop?

From .mailfilter

if( /^From:.*/ == 'za...@affectors.net' ){ to ~zac/.maildir/.TestBox }

From crontab

* * * * * getmail -nr ~zac/.getmail/getmailrc >> /log/gmLog

From getmail configuration

[default]

[affectors] server = mail.affectors.net username = ******************** password = ******************** postmaster = "|maildrop"

Thank you for any help
