Thanks, I got it working.  I'm stilling using the RPM though, it's make it
easier for me to keep my stuff organized.  I'm glad it's working now and I'm
grateful to the developers of courier and maildrop.  However, what would be
nice now, is the ability for maildrop to use persistant DB connections.  As
far as I understand it, this would require a daemonized version of maildrop,
and while we're at it, if it's going to be daemonized, lets allow it to
accept more than one delivery at a time.  Sort of a local virtual delivery
agent on speed.  What say ye?  If there was such a patch, would anyone find
it usefull?  Thanks,

vec

vec,

here is the configure I use that works with my setup:

./configure --without-db --disable-maildirquota  --enable-maildropmysql
--with-mysqlconfig=/etc/ maildrop/maildropmysql.config
--with-etcdir=/etc/maildrop --disable-tempdir
--enable-restrict-trusted=1
--prefix=/usr --enable-trusted-user='root mail email daemon postfix
postmaster' --enable-syslog=1

one quark I found out with maildrop is if you don't have a quota field
then it won't work (even if you don't want to use quotas, it just has to
be there).

I wouldn't both making an rpm, just compile it from the tarball, then
copy the maildropmysql.config to /etc/maildrop and put your maildroprc
in there too.

HTH,

-ethan

Here's what I've done:

placed maildrop-1.4.0.20020920.tar.gz in /usr/src/redhta/SOURCES

extracted and edited maildrop.spec to include --enable-maildropmysql
and --with-mysqlconfig=/etc/courier/maildropmysql.config

placed maildrop.spec into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS

rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/maildrop.spec

build seems to go OK.

rpm -ivh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/maildrop-1.4.0.20020920-1.7.2.i386.rpm


After all of that, there is no /etc/courier/maildropmysql.config and
there
is no maildroprc anywhere on the system.  If I copy the
maildropmysql.config
file from the sources into '/etc/courier/' and edit it to what it should
be
it appears to be ignored.  When I try maildrop -d "anything" < test.msg
I
can only get "Invalid User" back (that is also the only thing that shows
up
in the mail logs).  However, it is a valid virtual user (in the sql db)
and
it currently having mail delivered to it by the postfix VDA.  Mail is
also
successfully being retrieved by courier-imap.  Any ideas?  Thanks,

vec
