Hello maildrop experts.

I have a working postfix+mysql+courier-imap(pop3 and imap)+sqwebmail. Just i want to add maildrop capabilities to my postfix server. Acording to the docs, i compilled maildrop with mysql support and after that i configured postfix to use it.

1. ./configure --prefix=/var/tmp/aaa/ --without-db --enable-maildrop-uid=postfix --enable-maildrop-gid=postfix --enable-tempdir=tmp --enable-syslog=1 --enable-maildropmysql --with-mysqlconfig=/var/tmp/aaa/ --enable-maildirquota --with-devel --without-userdb --without-userdbtmpdir

2. i added to my /etc/postfix/main.cf the following line ### Maildrop support ### fallback_transport = maildrop Is this correct or is necessary to indicate the full path to the maildrop binary? fallback_transport = /var/tmp/aaa/bin/maildrop

3. I edited /etc/postfix/master.cf and added: ###support for maildrop### maildrop unix - n n - - pi pe flags=R user=postfix argv=/var/tmp/aaa/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}

4. I've configured /var/tmp/aaa/maildropmysql.config acording to my mysql settings

5. I've changed in mysql transport table the field transport as you see below:

#my old working table without maildrop capabilities: +---------+-----------+ | domain | transport | +---------+-----------+ | test.ro | virtual: | | fifi.ro | virtual: | +---------+-----------+

#my new table with maildrop capabilities: +---------+-----------+ | domain | transport | +---------+-----------+ | test.ro | maildrop: | | fifi.ro | virtual: | +---------+-----------+

6. When i tryed to send and email, i saw in my syslog file the following messages:

Nov 9 13:35:25 dinu postfix/master[2243]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/pipe pid 2315 exit status 1 Nov 9 13:35:25 dinu postfix/master[2243]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/pipe: bad command startup -- throttling Nov 9 13:35:25 dinu postfix/master[2243]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/pipe pid 2317 exit status 1 Nov 9 13:35:26 dinu postfix/qmgr[2310]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/maildrop socket while reading input attribute name Nov 9 13:35:26 dinu postfix/qmgr[2310]: warning: private/maildrop socket: malformed response Nov 9 13:35:26 dinu postfix/qmgr[2310]: warning: transport maildrop failure -- see a previous warning/fatal/panic logfile record for the problem description Nov 9 13:35:26 dinu postfix/qmgr[2310]: 65CD928924: from=<ro...@test.ro> , size=391, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Nov 9 13:35:27 dinu postfix/qmgr[2310]: 65CD928924: to=<mi...@test.ro> , relay=none, delay=6445, status=deferred (unknown mail transport error)

7. If i change back from maildrop: to virtual:, this message disapear and the smtp deliver messages to the correct mailbox destination! Now the first question: Is this enough to setup maildrop? Is correct what i've done till here? How can i test if maildrop is working?

8. A strange situation is happen now, if i use soft-quota. When an email is sent to the mailbox, no size count is writted in maildirsize file. When a user download (via pop3) the email, the maildirsize file COUNT DOWN the message!!!! So, in this way, soft quota is not working! It look like the distribution mail agent, can't write in maildirsize file, or ingnore it! See below an example: [root@dinu root]# cat /home/mailusers/test.ro/titi/Maildir/maildirsize 1800000S -864433 -3 -585 -1 [root@dinu root]# The permission are ok: [root@dinu root]# ls -l /home/mailusers/test.ro/titi/Maildir/maildirsize -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 37 nov 8 17:17 /home/mailusers/test.ro/ titi/Maildir/maildirsize [root@dinu root]#

Second question: What can i do to activate the count up feature?

Any ideas?
