I am never sure whether to believe references to things outside of the main courier installation (mine is in /usr/lib/courier).
Courier installation layout has been so well thought out and compact in general, I've been assuming that most documentation references to other locations must be outdated. Below is an excerpt from man courierfilter. It mentions many different directories, and I am almost convinced it can't be right. For example, it mentions /etc/courier/filters/active. In my installation (one from courier-mta.org, redhat, there is a /usr/lib/courier/etc/filters/active. Sam et.al., can you shed some light on this? Thanks in advance. -- Available mail filter binaries are located in the directory /usr/lib/courier/libexec/filters. The filterctl script looks in this directory to see which mail filters are available to be installed. Installing a mail filter consists of simply creating a soft link from the directory /etc/courier/filters/active to its corresponding binary in /usr/lib/courier/libexec/filters. The courierfilter start command simply reads /etc/courier/filters/active and runs every program in this directory. The filterctl script sends a HUP signal to courierfilter after installing or uninstalling a filter. courierfilter will reread the contents of /etc/courier/filters/active then start or stop individual mail filters. After starting, an individual mail filter must create a filesystem domain socket in one of two directories: /var/spool/courier/filters or /var/spool/courier/allfilters. The name of the socket should be the same as a name of the filter, and the mail filter must make sure to remove any socket by the same name in the other directory. For various silly reasons, the recommended implementation is to create /var/spool/courier/filters/.NAME or /var/spool/courier/allfilters/.NAME (after making sure that it doesn't exist) then rename .NAME to NAME. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
