[vchkpw] Filtering SPAM

Mon, 24 May 2004 14:19:58 -0700

Hi all,

I'm trying to filter incoming mail using the following mail-filter:

-----
VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# try filtering it using user-defined rules
if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
        exception {
                include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter
        }
        # then send it to the .SPAM folder
        exception {
                to "$VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM/"
        }
        # or try delivering it to the Trash folder
        exception {
                to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Trash/"
        }
        # if not go on with delivery
        exception {
                to "$VPOP"
        }
}
else
{
        exception {
                include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter
        }
        # if not go on with delivery
        exception {
                to "$VPOP"
        }
}
---
It is called from .qmail-default as in

"| /usr/local/bin/maildrop mailfilter"


Now, if mail is sent to an account using the exact account name, mail is delivered as it should be. However, If I send mail to an account using an alias (via fastforward), mail doesn't get delivered. Why? I'm using

VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

which is the same as in the (old) .qmail-default file. The mail-filter is chown'ed vpopmail:vchkpw and the log file says local delivery is delivering "...to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
But nothing ever arrives.

Anybody knows why this isn't working?



Cheers,
