That's what happens with mine.  when a mail is received or the user logs in with POP3 the dir is created.  I don't have that logger line in there though.  did you try it without the logging line?  also after you setup the control file did you restart qmail to force it to re-read the configs?

Subject: custom_dirmaker question

I have a question about how custom_dirmaker works.

When compiling qmail I include the MAKEMAILDIR.......

 

and then in /var/qmail/control I have a file called dirmaker

and in /var/qmail/control/dirmaker I have:

/var/qmail/bin/custom_dirmaker

 

and /var/qmail/bin/custom_dirmaker is:

#!/bin/sh
   logger "Creating Maildir/ for $1"
   mkdir -m 700 -p $1

 

So far this is correct right?  OK, so when is this called?  If a user exists in LDAP and email is sent to them, right now the logs indicate that the mail directory for that user does not exist.  I am assuming that qmail is supposed to create this directory when mail is recieved the first time?  Is this right.  This is not happening now. 

 

Any insight on this?

 

Thanks

 

Mark
