In our system, we need to restrict certain users from login in (either SSH or telnet or even console).. For that we used /bin/false or /bin/passwd for their shell, if this happens and the user has got a .mailfilter file, mail would not get delivered and would be send to the bitbucket (The error returned is a 1 and not EXTEMP_FAIL, or something like that).. With /bin/passwd, at least I can see the error of maildrop trying to run passwd -c somecommand...

Now, what should I do, will smrsh (stolen from sendmail) help? And is there any other thing I can do than to try out smrsh myself? Please help.

Manually initialize SHELL in your maildropfilter file.
