I have set up postfix and courier imap and both seem to be working well for incoming and outgoing mail.

I am now attempting filtering with maildrop and can't seem to get mail delivered to my Maildir folders.

I have made /usr/bin/maildrop suid (chmod u+s).

I have created rudimentary .mailfilter files in my two users home directorys:

DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir" logfile "mailfilter-log.txt" log "========" log "- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - default filter." to "Maildir"

I have changed main.cf in /etc/postfix from:

#mailbox_command = home_mailbox = Maildir/

to:

mailbox_command = maildrop -d $USER #home_mailbox = Maildir/

and issued postfix reload

but after these changes mail stops coming to Maildir and starts going to /var/spool/mail.

I also never see a the logfile "mailfilter-log.txt", I've watched for it in the home dirs and in /var/log and also run a locate after updatedb.

I'm stumped!

Thanks for any help.
