From: Tim Legant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As of 0.81, you can use just the .qmail-default file as you have configured above. However... you must use the new (as of 0.81) -S (or --vhome-script) flag to give tmda-filter a script it can use to look up the user's home directory. The vmailmgr-vdir.sh script will work for this. You run it like this:
| preline /usr/local/src/tmda-0.81/bin/tmda-filter -S /usr/local/src/tmda-0.81/contrib/vmailmgr-vdir.sh
(all on one line). You can put symlinks into /usr/local/bin (if that is in qmail-send's path) so you don't have to spell out all the paths above. This will cause tmda-filter to look in /home/virtual/users/chris_berry (your maildir) for the .tmda directory. It will set the tilde (~) to mean .../users/chris_berry. The upshot of this is that the default paths for many files in Defaults.py work and are specific to each user.
Thanks, I bumbled on to this solution late last night but your explanation helped clear things up.
Also, you had this as the second line in your .qmail-default:
| /usr/bin/filepipe /usr/bin/vdeliver
By default, if you are using qmail and tmda-filter is happy with the mail, it will exit with a 0 return code so that the rest of the lines in your .qmail* file get run. That's ok, except for virtual domains. The problem is that the delivery program, vdeliver, doesn't understand extension addresses. So any dated addresses, keyword addresses and so forth won't get delivered correctly.
The solution is to change the DELIVERY configuration variable to deliver to the user's maildir instead of exiting 0. You can either set DELIVERY in each users' config file or, if you have a consistent configuration for all of your users (all are virtual users using vmailmgr), you can set it in /etc/tmdarc (the global configuration file) and it will be set for everyone running TMDA.
/---- /etc/tmdarc (or the local user's .tmda/config ----\ import os # you need this, if it isn't already there
DELIVERY = os.path.expanduser('~/') \-------------------------------------------------------/
More information on DELIVERY:
http://tmda.net/config-vars.html#DELIVERY
If you have a few users who are not virtual users, you can set their DELIVERY variable in their 'config' file and it will override the global setting.
Once you have this setup working, most of the rest of TMDA's defaults will work like you'd expect; you won't have to customize a lot of configuration variables.
That helped alot, I think I've got it all sorted out now. In case anyone is interested, I've got a pretty neat little system going here.
First it checks some conservative blackholes using rblsmtpd and dumps anything that matches
sbl.spamhaus.org
relays.ordb.org
proxies.relays.monkeys.com
Then it runs the mail through spamassassin, if the score is less than 3.0 then the mail is delivered, anything higher gets a tmda confirmation message. Basically any kind of legitimate email is delivered without the user even being aware, while the vast majority of the junk is confirmed into limbo.
