Hello
I have my vpopmail compiled with --disable-valias (I dont want alias stored in db)
That means. I have .qmail files
A forward is always &[EMAIL PROTECTED] ... in the past alias/forwards were handled in a different way
now all are kinda forwards :)

With that setup the spambox works fine.

If you store your alias in the mysql db, I think it is using the old scheme for alias delivery, and as a matter of fact will by bass your .qmail with the ref to your mailfilter script.

Yeah, there's a break in there. The message comes in, hits the forward
(which does no scanning) and then gets locally delivered (inject) to the

I think when it used to be .qmail files you could tee in the mailfilter
script, but I have not tried to do so since it changed to using the
database method.
Maybe look at the structure of the forward table and see how it's
actually sending the message (is it using qmail-inject or a .qmail style
forward).
The valias table looks likes this:

| alias                 | domain           | valias_line
| peter.peltonen | example.com |
/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/peter/Maildir/ |

So I guess it is using qmail-inject to deliver the message.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Regards,
Peter


According to "The BIG Qmail PICTURE(TM)", forwards go straight from
qmail-local to qmail-queue, w/out hitting qmail-inject. It appears that
perhaps local forwarding doesn't do this any more if the valias is local. It
probably should if it's not. I don't know how spambox presently works, but
it sounds to me like the process that delivers to the spambox needs to be
hooked into qmail-local *after* the forwarding takes place. I'd look at the
code to verify all this.

I don't know how sophisticated the forward setup editing is. You might try
faking out the forward in such a way that it thinks the forward isn't local
(by using full email address instead of simply account name). That way it'd
get re-queued and the spambox filter should work.
