Subject:[maildropl] [maildrop] unable to create logfileActions...

Hello!

I'm installing a standard spamfilter setup with fetchmail->postfix->maildrop. All components already work fine, except maildrop, which can't create a logfile in my ~/.maildir:

Nov 16 20:26:22 floatkiller maildrop[5841]: Unable to create log file.

This is my /etc/maildroprc:

MAILDIR="$LOGNAME/.maildir" logfile "~/.maildir/maildrop.log"

echo $LOGNAME xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc -f"

if (/^X-Spam-Status: Yes/) to $MAILDIR/.Spam/

But it doesn't echo the $LOGNAME. maildrop is set to suid root. Since this problem, the mail stays in the queue, and without maildrop it works, but then I get flooded with spam!

I hope that this is not a FAQ, but if yes, please give me a link to the home- page. (I was "googling" for 2 hours)

Greetings, Fabiano
