[vchkpw] Maildrop and vpopmail
I've got my maildrop filtering and .qmail-default setup close to how I
want it, but there's some strangeness I'd like to work out still. Most
annoying is that when an incoming smtp connection references an account
that does not exist I get the following in my maildrop log:
BEGIN maildrop processing for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===
VHOME is set to
VPOP is set to | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
Date: Fri Feb 18 21:58:22 2005
From: Nikki Vogt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subj: :SPAM: re[16]
!Err: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
(5232)
=== END ===
What is the !Err signifying? And is it going to the vdelivermail
command on that error line as a result of $VPOP being the final
exception in the mailfilter file?
How can I keep the !Err from being thrown and handle it cleanly?
Also, strangely, I *very* occasionally will get an error message like
this in my qmail-send logs for a user that doesn't exist (the above
message triggered one of the occasions). The distinguishing factor with
these emails that I've seen so far is that they are usually to an
address that is a real account on the system, only truncated (i.e., gie
vs. maggie) Note, too, that I cannot recreate this intentionally,
leading me to believe there is another factor involved besides the
truncated account name:
2005-02-18 21:58:22.241245500 starting delivery 181: msg 3063895 to

2005-02-18 21:58:22.285783500 delivery 181: deferral:
Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._vpopmail_(#5.1.1)/maildrop:_error_writing_to_mailbox./
The normal behavior is to show that !Err message in the maildrop logs,
and then bounce the message according to $VPOP.
Finally, what could cause a log entry like this in my maildrop logs.
Note the BEGIN twice in a row, and also that info doesn't exist while
account does:
BEGIN maildrop processing for [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===

!Err: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
To recap what I'm trying to figure out:
1. Why some accoungs seem to get stuck in the queue as undeliverable on
rare occasion when the account does not exist, while other nonexistent
accounts bounce as expected.
2. If the !Err in my logs is avoidable, and instead I can find a way to
have the logs show "File: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
bounce-no-mailbox" as it does for accounts that do exist.
3. What might cause the double BEGIN lines in my mailfilter logs?
Here be the relevant files:

[vchkpw] maildrop and vpopmail/spamassassin
I'm running vpopmail 5.3.8 with spamassassin 2.55 (mysql for prefs). I'm having
problems with maildrop performing a mailfilter I found on the vpopmail mailling
list. I am also using courier-imap in conjunction with qmail.
[see http://bluedot.net/mail/archive/read.php?f=2&i=10377&t=10377]
The .SPAM folder is not created, and I am left with the following error message:
2003-05-30 17:44:28.190244500 delivery 359: deferral:
/usr/local/bin/maildrop:_Invalid_home_directory_permissions_-_world_writable./preline:_fatal:_unable_to_copy_input:_broken_pipe/
If I manually perform the maildirmake .SPAM, then chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw
.SPAM, I get the same error.
In my ~vpopmail/domains/realirc.org/.qmail-default I have:
|preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop
|/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
I'm doing it like this so I can just test it on one domain right now, so I don't
break the whole box, heh.
I had to slightly modify the script to fit my proper paths. I renamed it to
maildroprc and placed it in /usr/local/etc (on a FreeBSD 5.0 machine) so it
reads it by default as stated by maildrop's man page.
Below is my maildroprc file:
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
VHOME=`/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if ((/^X-Spam-Flag:.*YES/))
{
`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM; chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw
$VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM`
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM/"
}
The VPOP was omitted because of my previous statement of how vdelivermail is
called. Below are the permissions for the files/dirs in question:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 152696 May 29 00:44 /usr/local/bin/maildrop

Any ideas are appreciated. Sorry for the immense amount of information. I just
wanted to make sure I covered everything so I can resolve this quickly.
Thanks,

Took out the preline, now I get this error message:

My filter now looks like this:
SHELL="/usr/local/bin/bash"
import EXT
import HOST
import HOME
VHOME=`/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DUMMY=`test -d $VHOME/Maildir`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
echo "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)"
EXITCODE=100
exit
}
DUMMY=`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
DUMMY=`/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $VHOME/Maildir`
DUMMY=`echo Inbox.Spam >> $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
if (/^X-Spam-Status: *YES/)
{
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam"
echo "Message delivered to $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam"
exit
}
if (/^X-Spam-Status: *NO/)
{
exit
}
I slightly modified the end because I have your $VPOP variable called like this
in my .qmail-default file:
|/usr/local/bin/maildrop
|/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
The reason I'm doing it like this for now is because eventually I'm going to
append the maildrop to spamc using the -e trigger, that way the .qmail-default
of all my vdomains can easily be modified by qmailadmin without having to patch
anything. By doing it the way I'm doing it now, it should only effect
realirc.org and not effect all the domains systemwide.
Any more suggestions?

[vchkpw] maildrop and vpopmail
Hi, I dont know if this is related with this list but... Today I have noticed that /var/spool/mail/vpopmail file has reached 12MB and modified recently. But qmail does not deliver mail to mbox in my server. All of my accounts are vpopmail accounts. When I look at that file and send some test mails I saw that : * if mail is send to domains which use maildrop * and if that e-mail does not exists a copy of that mail is written to /var/spool/mail/vpopmail. But this problem (or acction) does not occur if a mail is send to domain which use vdelivermail. do you have any experience? thanks for advance... Ertan Yusufoglu
