Hi,

I'm thinking this is really a vpopmail/vdelivermail question, but since the maildrop filter is also involved I thought I should ask here too. Maybe someone recognizes what is going wrong.

What I am trying to do is identify incoming mail to a few specific users and delete it. The filter seems to catch the messages, but then an error is recorded in the maildrop log file.

Is maillog telling me that vdelivermail failed to delete the mail in some cases? If so, any idea why that could happen?

Here's the filter:

VAPORIZE="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete" if ( /jsmith/:h ) { log "Rule 1: $MATCH" to "$VAPORIZE" exit }

And here's a section of the log file. Notice how the first one doesn't have the !Err on the last line.
