With the following file, mail gets delivered to:

/var/spool/mail/vhosts/domain-name/user-name/Maildir/new

As soon as I uncomment the section to deliver to .Spam subdirectory, maildrop coughs up an error.... (yes directory exists)

Remove the spurious leading whitespace after the if.

I have a lot of these, as they increase reasability, and usually I have no problems.

Thorsten -

Do you have a working config that you would be willing to share ? I, too, keep staring at examples on the various websites, and fail to see what it is that I am missing. Sam didn't reply to the question of which "leading whitespace", and Truong is asking the wrong questions.

I do notice several websites talk about how touchy maildrop syntax is, but that still leaves me out in the cold. Once working, I'd like to start adding things, like specific subdirectories for mailing lists, etc. But, I can't even get a spam test to work. I'm stuck.

====================================== The "if" statement itself is suspect...

The following "works" to deliver mail to:

/var/spool/mail/vhosts/domain-name/user-name/Maildir/new and the intent was to go to ..../Maildir/.Spam/

if ( /^X-Spam-Status: *Yes/ ) { exception { to "$DEFAULT/.Spam" } } #else { exception { # to "$DEFAULT" to "$DEFAULT/.Spam" } }

..so the "top" part of maildroprc does what it supposed to do, but the if-else combo is not doing what I expected (nor is "to" for that matter). I've tried with "Status" at "No" as well as "*No" with the same results...

Throwing away the entire file and using a direct "to /blah/blah/" syntax does not work (dot-lock error) and using:

exception { to "/blah/blah" }

always puts in into the user's Maildir/new directory, even if .Spam is specified...so exception does NOT seem to care...

FWIW I can not find any file named .mailfilter on my system for ANY user. Sam's write up indicates xfilter needs this file. Did I miss an installation step ?
