I am asking a newbie questions. I have set up qmail + vpopmail + sqwebmail on my Freebsd 4.4 machine. Everything goes well although a long time had been spent to get all of these stuffs working together, especially the multi-domain.

To filter the junk mails, I was trying to install maildrop, which seems to be one of the most popular mail filtering software around the world. The documations is a bit tough for me as I haven't got much experience on Unix. I used the following commands to install

./configure make make install-strip make install-man

I followed an article. 1. create a file /home/vpopmail/domains/mshome.net/.qmail-richard and add |/usr/local/bin/maildrop in it. 2. create a file
/home/vpopmail/domains/mshome.net/richard/Maildir/maildirfilterconfig and add MAILDIRFILTER=../.mailfilter MAILDIR=./Maildir in it. 3. use the 'edit mail filters' in Sqwebmail and it automatically creates a file /home/vpopmail/domains/mshome.net/richard/.mailfilter

I tried to send my self rich...@mshome.net emails, but no emails arriving at
all. Once I delete the file /home/vpopmail/domains/mshome.net/.qmail-richard, I can receive emails but there is no filtering.

Also, I tried |/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d richard or |/usr/local/bin/maildrop -m etc.... in file /home/vpopmail/domains/mshome.net/.qmail-richard, it comes out the same results.

After spend two days, I decied to seek help at this mailing list. Any one that
can help me will be very appreciated.

Thank you.
