Subject:[maildropl] The joke was on me :-/Actions...

A while back I puzzled folks on this list with maildrop with a signal 25 when mail was sent to a specific user even though that user's maildir was empty.

What happened was this was in /et/maildrop/maildroprc:

cc backup `cd backup/new && rm -f dummy \`ls -t | sed -e 1,50d\``

`reformail -D 8000 duplicate.cache` if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 ) exit

While that shouldn't have been a problem, I had forgotten to run maildirmake++ on backup for that user, so I had 48.5MB mbox. which seems to have been at the heart of the problem. When I eliminated it and ran maildirmake++, all returned to normal.

To all those who suggested ways to solve the problem, thanks. I'll be sitting in the corner wearing a dunce cap this weekend. :-(
