Odd. After sending another email, it suddenly began working. I've no
idea why it failed to work in the past. Could ClamAV have been
hindering Maildrop? Becuase the only changes I've made since today's
testing and yesterdays attempts was to disable ClamAV.
Possible I guess. Maildrop is called by simscan, so if clam was tying it
up you would have to wait for that to finish before it would reload it's
process.
Three other questions...
Firstly, there's a ton of material in /etc/mail/mailfilter is it safe
to leave it and let it call the user-specific .mailfilter? Or should
I strip it down?
Secondly, how can I enable this globally for all users? Instead of
creating a .qmail and .mailfilter file for each individual is there a
global setting that will make all incoming mail from the address get
redirected?
Lastly, can I specify multiple copies of the redirection scripts in
.qmail in order to redirect mail from multiple addresses?
That's so much for the help. You've no idea how much I appreciate it.
The /etc/mail/mailfilter script is for spam. If you read through it
you'll see that it examines the score of messages, and if MATCH >= 12 (I
think that's the default) it will deliver to the user's Spam folder.
It's up to you, depending on your situation, whether or not to loave it in.
To turn it on for all users, you would need to recompile the qmailadmin
package with the spambox option on (look in the wiki, it's well
documented) and then turn the "Spam detection" on for each user and it
would then use .mailfilter files if they exist for those users. Or you
can write a script that puts the needed .qmail entry in each user's folder.
And no, the .qmail file is only called when mail for that user is
delivered. You may be able to modify the .qmail-default file to do what
you want.
And as a side note, you can forward mail while leaving a copy in the
user's folder. You may also want to look at taps (check the wiki) which
for almost exactly what you're trying to do (archive mail).
