Hi
I don�t know very well the maildrop. Also, instead of qmail, I have
installed it over sendmail (freebsd). Now, it�s working very well, but I
need do somethings to do this (ufa!). First, I compiled and installed
without errors, but this isn�t not suficiently to do it work. So, after a
hard work I discovered somethings. I don�t know if it apply in your case,
but if yes, this save you of a hard work:
1 - Problem: maildrop don�t get deliver the messages
(qmail return ...Deffered)
Solution: compile with --enable-restric-trusted=0
option (see manual for explanation)
2 - Problem: /etc/maildrop isn�t executed
Possible cause: this file maybe a syntax error.
Solution: compile with --enable-syslog=1, execute
maildrop and see the /var/log/maillog
Sugestion: put flags (DBN=`touch /tmp/dbn`) in many
places on the filter file to test your flow
3 - Problem: /etc/maildrop flow is working very well,
but "to" and "cc" command don�t.
Cause: this commands invoke the command "sendmail" to
execute "to" and "cc". But the command "sendmail"
don�t work in filter file (I don�t why).
Solution: Intead of
"to NNN"
execute
"(edit /tmp/xxx before)
CMD=`mail NNN < /tmp/xxx`
exit"
(*)The unique thing that I don�t got to do is define the "From:"
parameter in message sended with the "mail command". Do you know
how do it?
Probaly this hints don�t apply in your case, bacause your system maybe
configured different of mine.
IF YOU KNOW HOW I RESOLVE MY PROBLEM(*) PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO ME
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), THANK YOU.
