Hi all,

I a trying for the first time to configure a mail server (CentOS 5.0)running postfix and maildrop. I am trying to make postfix deliver emails to maildrop, which will use a filter and then store them in maildir. It will contain only one user name and one domain.

I have installed them with success, but I can't make the basic configuration for them and make them work. I am getting this error:

Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open filter file, errno=2.

try this:

# su vmail % maildrop -V 6 -d someuser < /dev/null

you must make sure that maildrop can read /etc/maildroprc and all .mailfilter files. In particular, make sure parent directories must be accessible.

selinux is also a common source of surprises. check /var/log/messages (or other) for any selinux logs.
