Hello all,
Something very puzzling is happening with a new install i'm working
on. I believe i have replicated configurations from previous installs
and never the less i'm not getting the same results.
I whish to activate maildrop delivery for absolutely every user in the
system so, and similarly like i've done times before, instead of
defining the deliveryProgramPath, qmailDotMode and deliveryMode ldap
attributes for every user, i've chosen to define
~/control/defaultdelivery (set to |/var/qmail/bin/preline
/usr/bin/maildrop) so that the default delivery preformed by
qmail-local is made by maildrop.
I can see qmail-lspawn running with the appropriate parameters, which
are the content of the ~/control/defaultdelivery file, but qmail still
delivers using qmail-local without using maildrop, as seen in the
debug logs;
@4000000045ca12240ea4fc3c delivery 1: log: QMAILDOTMODE:_both/
@4000000045ca12240ea513ac delivery 1: log:
executing_'qmail-local_--_hmmm_/home/agentes/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/agentes/15093/Maildir/'_under_uid=15093,_gid=1000/
@4000000045ca1224104f413c delivery 1: success: did_1+0+0/
I've tested the maildrop part by specifying all the needed attributes
in an ldap user entry and it works, but then it simply disregards
maildrop if i return to the config wish.
Shouldn't the specification of a different MDA in defaultdelivery be
enough to garantee that it will be used for local delivery by
qmail-local? The strange thing is that i have this working elsewhere...
Can anyone suggest a possible problem to what's happening ?
Regards,
Hugo Monteiro.
Note: I have maildrop logging, so i'm positive when it's running or not.
After some debugging, i came to the conclusion that there was a small
difference between setups. Not the server setup per se, but the ldap
backend. In the later install, my users had set the mailMessageStore
attribute, which is nothing more than an overwrite to the parameter to
be passed onto qmail-local by qmail-lspawn.
After i removed that entry, my qmail-ldap instalation started to respect
again the default parameters for qmail-local, as set in
~qmail/control/defaultdelivery.
Bottom line, if you wish to use some kind of server side filtering or
anything else that would required specifying a different MDA, with
qmail-ldap you have two choices. Either play with deliveryProgramPath,
qmailDotMode and deliveryMode in each users entry, or you can set it up
system wide by specifying a different defaultdelivery mode and
ldapdefaultdotemode. If the choice is the later, remember that ldap
attributes, such as the mentioned above, have precedence over the
established values in the control files.
Cheers and thanks for putting up with my "loud talking". =)
