I ran across a minor, but highly annoying issue in a recent toaster
migration and was wondering if anyone here had advice as to a
workaround. On both installs (old and the new), I have vpopmail
compiled with --enable-qmail-ext. I also used the qmailadmin to
--enable-modify-spam and set
--enable-spam-command=|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop
/home/vpopmail/etc/mailfilter . This worked great on the old system and
also worked when someone used a "qmail-ext" - in other words, emails
addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] both got run through
the corresponding mailfilter - because the .qmail file right outside of
Maildir (the one placed there by qmailadmin) was read in either scenario.
With the latest toaster that I migrated to - only emails without "-ext"
(i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) run through mailfilter as normal. The rest (i.e.
emails addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) just get dropped in the inbox and
so maildrop never has a chance to run. For people who get a lot of spam
sent to their "-ext" addresses, this can be annoying because all that
spam that used to get deleted or dropped into a Spam folder is now going
to the Inbox. On the old server, I was running vpopmail-5.4.1 /
toaster-scripts-0.6 / qmailadmin-1.2.1 / maildrop-1.6.3 and on the new
server I am running the most recent toaster: vpopmail-5.4.18 /
toaster-scripts-0.9.0 / qmailadmin-1.2.11 / maildrop-2.0.4
Tried to Google for the answer for a while, but found nothing - also
searched the list archives. I apologize if this issue is obvious /
already covered. I am hoping there is some workaround that I can use to
bypass this issue. Any help is appreciated.
