I am running courier-mta with courier-imap-ssl quite happily

I am now wanting to add courier-maildrop to the equation.

I am running Debain Linux, so have installed the packages with dselect.

I cannot get mailfilter to work - when I try to use maildrop I get the following in my /var/log/mail.log

Apr 11 22:16:47 ebon courierlocal: id=0000A0C3.3E9730BE.00004DA0,from=<sg...@chaoscrypt.org>,addr=<dav...@chaoscrypt.com>: maildrop: signal 0x0B Apr 11 22:16:47 ebon courierlocal: id=0000A0C3.3E9730BE.00004DA0,from=<sg...@chaoscrypt.org>,addr=<dav...@chaoscrypt.com>,status: deferred Apr 11 22:16:47 ebon courierd: completed,id=0000A0C3.3E9730BE.00004DA0 Apr 11 22:16:47 ebon courierd: Waiting. shutdown time=Fri Apr 11 23:09:52 2003, wakeup time=Fri Apr 11 22:17:57 2003, queuedelivering=5, inprogress=0

Can anyone help?

I apologise in advance for the lenght of the mail.

My configs are as such

and my courierd file is modified as such to use maildrop

######################################################################## # ##NAME: DEFAULTDELIVERY:0 # # Specify default delivery instructions by setting DEFAULTDELIVERY # One of the following definitions of DEFAULTDELIVERY should be # uncommented. # # Default deliveries to $HOME/Maildir # # DEFAULTDELIVERY=./Maildir # # Alternatively, use procmail to deliver mail to local mailboxes. # # DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail" # # Here's how to have maildrop handle local deliveries. # # DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop" # # If you want to automatically enable .forward support globally, # use something like this: # # DEFAULTDELIVERY="|| dotforward # ./Maildir" # # Yes, it's two lines long, with an embedded newline. Of course, you can use # any default local mail delivery instruction in place of ./Maildir.

#DEFAULTDELIVERY=./Maildir DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop"

##NAME: MAILDROPDEFAULT:0 # # The following setting initializes the DEFAULT variable in maildrop, # the location of the default mailbox. You should not change this setting # unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

#MAILDROPDEFAULT=./Maildir

and my maildrop file reads

/usr/bin/maildrop ~ ~ ~

My user home directory looks like

david@ebon:~$ ls -la total 44 drwxr-xr-x 4 david david 4096 Apr 11 22:05 . drwxrwsr-x 14 root staff 4096 Apr 10 18:50 .. -rw------- 1 david david 7193 Apr 10 19:56 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 509 Jan 1 2000 .bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 1093 Jan 1 2000 .bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 14 Mar 5 14:13 .exrc -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 166 Apr 11 21:45 .mailfilter -rw------- 1 david david 963 Mar 5 15:43 .mysql_history drwx------ 2 david david 4096 Feb 9 03:13 .ssh drwx------ 12 david david 4096 Apr 11 21:37 Maildir

my .mailfilter like

MAILDIR="/home/david/Maildir"

if (/^Subject:.*filtertest*/) { to "$MAILDIR/.maildrop" } ~

my Maildir has the following structure

david@ebon:~/Maildir$ ls -la total 120 drwx------ 11 david david 4096 Apr 11 22:11 . drwxr-xr-x 4 david david 4096 Apr 11 22:05 .. drwx------ 5 david david 4096 Apr 8 19:10 .Drafts drwx------ 5 david david 4096 Apr 11 22:11 .Sent drwx------ 5 david david 4096 Jan 29 11:50 .Spam drwx------ 5 david david 4096 Feb 24 22:38 .Test drwx------ 5 david david 4096 Apr 11 22:11 .Trash drwx------ 5 david david 4096 Mar 5 11:24 .maildrop -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 79 Apr 11 22:11 courierimapsubscribed -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 31438 Apr 11 21:37 courierimapuiddb drwx------ 2 david david 40960 Apr 11 21:57 cur -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 70 Apr 11 21:45 maildirfilterconfig drwx------ 2 david david 4096 Apr 11 21:37 new drwx------ 2 david david 4096 Apr 11 22:18 tmp

and finally my maildirfilter config

MAILDIRFILTER="/home/david/.mailfilter" MAILDIR="/home/david/Maildir" ~
