I have my mailserver setup using qmail and virtual domains. I also installed getmail to retrieve my other email and that all is working. I'm not sure how to implement maildrop though.

I want to have maildrop sort my email that comes into my domain and also the email that getmail retrieves. How would I do this?

I setup my mailserver using the guide here: http://qvcs-guide.sourceforge.net/rhl/qvcs-guide.pdf and then installed the rpm of getmail. I then installed maildrop from the tar file and that went well.

My virtual domain is in /home/dom/<domain.com>/ and I have a .qmail-default file there that has |/usr/bin/vdeliver in it. The actual mail for the domain is at /home/dom/<domain.com>/users/<username>

I looked at some of the emails on the list, and I see that you are supposed to put postmaster = "|/usr/bin/maildrop ~/.maildroprc" in the getmail config file, but I don't think maildrop is located there. I've tried locate maildrop, but it doesn't find it, yet if I type maildrop it will execute.

Could someone help me out with this? Also, do anyone have any example configurations for maildrop?

Thanks, Kevin
