This is a prehistoric version. Although maildrop has not changed much over
the years, nobody is going to waste any time trying to debug this dinosaur.
Thanks to your mails, I understood that I was on a wrong track, and I better
understand things now. So, forget about MAILFILTERDIR etc. If you look at the
file below, I presume that if I add in maildroprc:
HOME = $DEFAULT
then maildrop will look up .mailfilter files in the virtual mail directories?
No. By the time maildrop begins processing the mail filtering instructions
it already knows the recipient's home directory. Setting HOME will have no
effect.
I suggest that if you are having trouble understanding how that particular
set up works, that you should ask them for clarifications.
Incidentally, why there are two exception statement in the end of the
maildroprc file is not clear to me.
exception {
include $MAILFILTERDIR/$LOGNAME
}
exception {
to "$MAILDIR"
}
So that if the first one fails, the second one still gets processed.
