Hello everyone,

I'm using maildrop to deliver messages in my qmail installation, its kind of a homemade virtual user thingie. So I have all mail owned and delivered by one system user and the rest is just virtual users. Therefore I deliver the mail to the maildirs with the following in the .qmail file. |preline maildrop -V -M .mailfilter-m1010

Where the .mailfilter-m1010 differs depending on the user. However, since I'm using the -M, the execution of external programs in the mailfilter file seems to be disabled. Probably a security aspect, but, since I control all the .mailfilter files, its not really an issue, so I would like to be able to use external programs in the mailfilterfile anyway.

Is there a way to get passed this? To override the securityconcern? Or is that a bad idea? =)

Happy holiday, Eric
