Hiya,

I've succeeded in making Maildrop work with Vmailmgr, mainly by abusing Qmail. I'll show my configuration and then ask for a better way to do this.

Qmail switches to the example user and checks the .qmail-default file: | example@churchill:~$ cat .qmail-default | |maildrop .mailfilters/assassinate_spam | |vdeliver | example@churchill:~$

This is the .mailfilters/assassinate_spam file: | # /home/example/.mailfilter/assassinate_spam | | exception { | xfilter "spamc" | } | | if (/^X-Spam-Flag: YES/) | { | EXITCODE=99 | to "!assa...@em.ca" | } | | EXITCODE=0 | exit

The idea is to use Maildrop's exit codes to control whether or not Qmail will proceed to the line with "|vdeliver". Maildrop returns 99 if Spam Assassin finds spam, which tells Qmail to not continue to "|vdeliver". If no spam is found Maildrop returns 0 without delivering anything, and Qmail runs Vdeliver to deliver the message.

I can't use 'to "|vdeliver"' because Maildrop offers a pipe and Vdeliver expects a real file on standard input. Is there any way to get Maildrop to offer Vdeliver a file descriptor of the real file?

Does anyone have a better way to use Maildrop with Vmailmgr? If so, what is it?
