Yes. :)
You have to specify how you want those files evaulated, if you
want them evaluated at all. You can do this on a user by user
basis by setting the qmailDotMode field in a users LDAP entry.
It is also controled by /var/qmail/control/ldapdefaultdotmode.
Here is a user sample from my system:
cn=Adam Jacob, dc=arizonainternet, dc=net
cn=Adam Jacob
sn=Jacob
objectclass=top
objectclass=person
objectclass=inetOrgPerson
objectclass=qmailUser
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailhost=pendragon.cybertrails.com
mailmessagestore=/home/adam/
qmaildotmode=ldapwithprog
deliveryprogrampath=/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/procmail
qmailuser=adam
qmailuid=500
qmailgid=500
uid=adam
mailalternateaddress=adam@localhost
(Some lines removed for brevity) Note the line that
says "qmaildotmaode=ldapwithprog". That statement says to
execute the deliverprogrampath field if it's defined, otherwise
deliver to whatever the LDAP default is. :)
If you set that to "both", it will execute the .qmail file.
If you only want it to read .qmail files, you can set it to
dotonly.
The same values can be put here that can be put in ldapdefaultmode.
See the QLDAPINSTALL file, line 148 for more information.
