Initially I had a problem with file permissions. I am
unable to recall if it was the ~vmail/.mailfilterrc or
the /etc/maildroprc. Move the files to another name
temporarily to test my assumption. If the problem goes
away, then change the permissions. I think that they
have to be 600, or so. I believe that this issue is also
well documented in the manuals.
I tried to rename the maildroprc file as well as the
maildropmysql.config file (both to a .old extension). I
tried rerunning the command:
echo "Hello" | ./maildrop -d "rick...@ohiotelnet.com"
(I am executing this command from /usr/local/courier/bin)
however it produces the exact same error as above in the
subject line. I am at a loss for what to do next. I tried
to change the permissions for both of the files to 600
as mentioned above but to no avail. The walkthough stated
to place the maildroprc file in the /etc/ directory so I
did that as well (including changing the permissions and
changing the extension to .old just to see whether it was
pointing there for some reason as well. I searched for
the file maildroprc to make sure it was not placed in any
other directories and it was not.
If I can provide any more information to the list to help
troubleshoot this problem, please let me know and I will be
more than happy to do so. I am running RedHat v9, MySQL
v 3.23.58, Courier-Imap 3.0.3, Maildrop 1.6.3. The system
routes mail fine provide it is set for virtual: as the
transport vs maildrop:
