So, you're going to create .qmail files for every user, eh? Sounds like fun. Some things to check/try: -Not sure you need preline in your .qmail file. Try without it. -Make sure your mailfilter is in UNIX format. vi file then :se ff=unix and then save. This has been at least a couple people lately (me included). -Where's the rest of your mailfilter file? Are you importing HOST and EXT? What's your SHELL set to for vpopmail? etc., etc. -Log entries? If you used a toaster, logs are possibly in /var/log/qmail/current or similar. You can also set the -V flag on maildrop to get verbose logging to standard error (possibly same locale as aforemention). -You need exit statements after your to statements, just to be clean and neat, I think. -Instead of to "../abuse/Maildir" try using to "! abu...@domain.com". This effectively forwards the message to the other account. Or, try using the full path to abuse and strip /Maildir off the end because I think it's implied (could be wrong here). -For testing/simplicity, try stripping the exceptions out. You can always try adding them back later. I could not get my mailfilters working with the current maildrop with exceptions in place.

Failing all of the above, please send more info.

cheers,
