Hi,

Thanks for the mail.

Which of the '*.sh' files for delivering does you use?

I do not get this. sh file. what .sh file are u telling about? getmail has getmailrc and I run it as root.

If you use the 'home|home+df' then you must change the 'rc' file, you can try the the following: exec env - PATH="$YOUR_QMAIL_PYTH/bin:$PATH" qmail-start '|maildrop' \ splogger qmail

I don't get this too. I am using getmail, which does not use qmail for downloading mail unlike fetchmail. It downloads mails and dirctly store them in users Maildir.

Here one possibility for the '.mailfilter'-file:

----------------

if(/^(To|Cc|From): .*qmail.*@list\.cr\.yp\.to.*/) { to ~/Mail/qmail/ }

if(/^(To|Cc|From): .*courier-maildrop.*@.*\.sourceforge\.net/) { to ~/Mail/maildrop/ } .

I have to test this yet. I will test it. But my main problem is still where do I apply maildrop. As getmail does not require a SMTP, where do I use maildrop. Also, PLEASE PLEASE tell me where to get docs about this so called filtering language of maildrop. I have a feeling that procmail docs are more extensive and simpler.

---------------- mailboxes ~/Mail/qmail ~/Mail/maildrop ...

----------------

I have set spoolfile=~/Maildir/ set mbox_type=Maildir It is enough?

Well i hope you wan't to learn ;-)

I want to learn but I get ANGRY when filter (read procmail/maildrop) and email clients (read mutt) get more difficult than the server (read qmail).

Please help me out. i am getting really frustated because of this mutt thing. My only aim at this moment is to stop using kmail and switch to mutt. So, I require maildrop. And I don't know how to use it with getmail. With regards. -Payal
