I forgot to mention that currently I utilize the userdb method rather than MySQL.

Still, from the maintenance point of view, it might be much more difficult to maintain a per user .mailfilter system, unless the configuration uses a standard pattern for every user. However, if the configuration is standard for every user, then it might as well be done in a single file. I am thinking of a system with hundreds or thousands of virtual accounts.

What are your thoughts/experience about in this area?

When you are runnning a virtual setup, maildrop looks in the directory specified by the MYSQL_HOME_FIELD (or LDAP) directive in authmysqlrc for the .mailfilter file. So to have different .mailfilters per user, simply specify the root of the mailbox (which has nothing to do with whether or not it is in the Maildir format) in the MYSQL_HOME_FIELD. Then drop the .mailfilter file for the user in that directory.

Paul,

I am running postfix, maildrop, and SquirrelMail for my email server. I have virtual accounts and system accounts, and they all work well (it took me some time to figure out how to make maildrop work correctly with the soft quotas.) I only have one .mailfilter file for the vmail user.

From your email, I make the following assumptions: 1) you are running virtual accounts 2) When you say mailbox, you mean Maildir type

Now here is what I would do given my current experience. 1) If you have installed, or plan to install SquirrelMail, use its vacation plugin. The plugins, so far, seem to work well, and are easy to install. The ones that I have installed include secure login, timeout user, quota usage, username display, compatibility, and virtual hosts.

2) I only have one .mailfilter file for the vmail user. There is also another configuration file that can be used, /etc/maildroprc. As of this moment I still have to learn how to fully utilize these 2 configuration files for advanced email filtering.

Even if you are running virtual domains, there is still a mailbox on disk much like if the user had a system account and home directory. Putting a .mailfilter file in the root of the mailbox should do it.

I'm using maildrop to do delivery for all users on my mail server. No actual accounts exist so maildrop is running as the user 'vmail' and delivering into each mailbox. Is there any way to have a per-user maildroprc in this configuration? I somehow need to provide support for vacation messages and mail forwarding.

Or does anyone else have a strategy for supporting .forward files in sendmail with virtual users.
