If I understand your problem is that you are attemtpting to generate local
mailfilters for your users to generate from Sqwebmail. I know that under courier-mta I had to create a file called maildirfilterconfig
inside of the user's Maildir/ so that the web server could generate the filters (since this is where the webserver runs so it reads
this file). The contents of this file are:

MAILDIRFILTER=pathtomailfilter MAILDIR=pathtomaildir

Kind of what you have under the global Maildirfilterconfig, but for local
filtering rules you need that file also under the Maildir/ especially if they are being generated by Sqwebmail (at least this is how I
understood it)

Hope this works for you.

I have configured RH7.3 and qmail with LDAP and sqwebmail 3.5.1. The users are
able to login using LDAP authentication. Maildrop has been installed w/o any specific switches. The users wanted vacation auto-replies
and other features. All users are created using vmail i.e under /home/vmail/$user. The
.qmail-default file is in this directory and below this is Maildir - i.e. /home/vmail/$user/Maildir I have created /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/maildirfilterconfig having MAILDIRFILTER=../.mailfilter MAILDIR=./Maildir The user's .qmail-default file contains |/usr/local/bin/maildrop ./Maildir/ I also tried adding as mentioned in the mailing list... In sqwebmail I am getting two additional options for Mail filtering now. I have
created a vacation-type reply. i.e if address contains user's self address then a vacation-type autoreply is generated. I saw
the ./mailfilter file and since sendmail is being used for delivering the mail (and I am using qmail) I added a softlink in
/usr/bin ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/bin/sendmail No autoreply is being genereated and I am also not able to make out any error as
/var/log/qmail/current just contains the delivered message activity. Mail generated by maildrop/sendmail combination is not logged
here. Is .qmail-default enough to let Qmail know about maildrop presence? Do I have to specify in the LDAP definition that maildrop is being used? Or is there something else wrong? How do I see the logs? PS~ It will be nice if a search option is available on the maildrop mailing
lists... will makelife easire for novices like me!!! Alternatively all users can maintain a discipline wherein the subject line can
say a lot about the problem rather than just 'a problem in maildrop' or 'help me'??
