Thanks, this helped a lot. I am, however, having a new issue. Delivering
messages like this seems to ignore the users' .mailfilter files in $HOME. As a
workaround I tried adding a "include $HOME/.mailfilter", but if the file doesn't
exist, it defers the delivery.
Pertinant info from my configs:
DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop"
MAILDROPDEFAULT=./Maildir
my maildroprc:
import USER
import HOME
xfilter "/usr/local/bin/filter.php $USER"
if ( /^SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM/ )
{
to /dev/null
}
#include $HOME/.mailfilter <- this was my attempt, commented out
to Maildir
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Josh
