Hi Gilion,

no program should ever try to get such data from /etc/passwd directly. It uses the glibc which builds a transparent system to access data from various sources like NIS, LDAP...

To come to your question:

There should be a maildropldap.config file. There you set the attributes which contain the needed data. e.G.LDAP attribute homeDir. So if you have a proper ldap installation, there should be no problem.

If you don't use this file or ldap in maildrop, you can use pam_ldap nss_ldap instead. They let you access ldap through PAM and NSSWITCH (glibc)

Christian.

Zitat von Gilion Goudsmit <ggou@magicminds.com>:

If I've read the maildrop documentation correctly, I understand that maildrop checks for the homedir and such in the /etc/passwd file. Could this be why none of my filtering rules in the homedirs .mailfilter file get executed?
