Hi, I'm using maildrop 1.6.3 on Linux (kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4). Recently I switched to using a script for delivery of my messages.The filter rules file is attached with this mail. However, I've been getting the following log file trace since then.  The values of the variables and fields printed in the log message are all correct.The log message is something like :

Starting Maildrop Delivery LFROM = <sone from addr> mail sent to = <sone to addr> LOGNAME =<sone non-root username> recipient = hostname = <some hostname> Starting delivery_script Date: Thu Feb 16 15:59:07 2006 From: <some from address> Subj: This Week at HSN !Err: | /var/qmail/delivery_scripts/delivery_script.sh                 (66613)

I've double-checked the script and nothingseems to be wrong there. I even replaced the script's content with a simple "echo" and then "exit" with proper codes but the log message is the same.

That's because your script did not read the entire message from standard input before terminating.

If maildrop detects that the external delivery program terminated before it read the entire message, it interprets it as a crash, and a temporary delivery failure.
