Sam,

I see this is still hanging over, any chance of either a configure option or a .mailfilter option to do away with it for those of use whom it causes problems for.

I'm trying to switch from UW-IMAP to Courier. I'm running on Debian Woody and using Postfix as my MTA. I also want to use virtual users and of course have Courier use Maildir format mailboxes.

I got the courier-imap server to install and figured that I needed to change authdaemonrc to use userdb. This works. Now I just need a way to get e-mail.

When I type "maildrop -d <user>" it works for system users. When I try "maildrop -d <virtuser>" it says: "maildrop: Invalid user specified". This leads me to believe that maildrop is not using userdb.

I tried doing "apt-get source maildrop" (debian's way to download source) and then "./configure --with-db=db --enable-userdb". Then "make" and "make install". The resulting maildrop also seems to ignore userdb. I then downloaded the latest maildrop from sourceforge and the same thing happened.

Clearly I'm missing something here -- how do I tell maildrop to use userdb? How do I tell it where userdb lives?

Anyway, any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

Jen

P.S. I used "make install" instead of "make install-strip" because "make install-strip" fails with: "strip: /usr/local/share/maildrop/scripts/makedat: File format not recognized /usr/bin/install: strip failed". The instructions say that if "make install-strip" fails then try "make install" which is what I did. Could this have something to do with my problem?

It's possible that debian's port of courier-imap modifies the default location of the userdb database. The distributed tarballs of both maildrop and courier-imap use /etc/userdb*. It's possible that debian's courier-imap port either does not enable userdb by default, or uses some other file path. Check the port's patches for more information.

Using maildrop together with qmail I noticed that mails written to a maildir by maildrop start with a From_-header. This is not the case for mails written by qmail and seems to be wrong according to the maildir-specification.

$ cat ~/.qmail |preline maildrop

$ cat /etc/maildroprc xfilter "spamassassin -P" to "Maildir/"

Thanks! That was one problem. Another is that it seems that the version of courier-imapd that Debian packages doesn't use BerkeleyDB ... arg. Maybe it's using gdbm. Unfortunately, I have libgdbm.so installed (1.7.3) in /usr/lib and I guess that's not what it's looking for? Or it's in the wrong place? Any ideas on what I could be using instead?

Thanks!

Jen

That's spamassassin putting the From_ in there. Try:

Thanks. Don't know why I did not see this when reading through the manpage of spamassassin ... sorry for the noise.
