I want to configure qmail to use maildrop as the MDA. I searched the qmail email list archives and didn't find much about the topic. Is there a good tutorial some where that I can read to get started with maildrop. I have maildrop installed, but not setup with qmail.

Well, I can't seem the find the tutorial I used to get it working, so I'll just repeat the steps I used here.

1.) Get, untar the maildrop source. Run ./configure with whatever options you would normally choose. AFTER ./configure, you will have to hand tweak maildrop/config.h to have this:

#define DEFAULT_DEF "./Maildir" ( and I have this: )

#define MAILBOX_MODE "0600"

Run make and make install, and you should be set with maildrop.

2) Now to make maildrop the default delivery agent. This is my /var/qmail/rc file: #!/bin/sh

# using stdout for logging # using control/defaultdeliver from qmail-local to deliver messages by default

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|preline maildrop'

Now, setup your .mailfilter files, and you should be set to go. If I remembered everything. Which, it's entirely possible I forgot something. ;)
