Actually, I was looking at the release notes, not the man page, but yes I
should have known that from version 1.0. Thanks.
As for the empty messages, I found that if my filter has no output a blank
message is sent to the envelope recipients. I circumvented by this
modification to qmail-qfilter.c v1.0:
/* remap the appropriate FDs and exec qmail-queue */
int run_qmail_queue(int tmpfd, int envpipe[2])
{
struct stat mystat;
struct stat *ptr_mystat;
ptr_mystat=&mystat;
fstat(tmpfd,ptr_mystat);
if (mystat.st_size > 5){
if(close(envpipe[1]) == -1 ||
dup2(tmpfd, 0) != 0 || close(tmpfd) == -1 ||
dup2(envpipe[0], 1) != 1 || close(envpipe[0]) == -1 ||
close(2) == -1)
return QQ_WRITE_ERROR;
execl(QMAIL_QUEUE, QMAIL_QUEUE, 0);
return QQ_INTERNAL;
}
return QQ_SUCCESS;
}
It's kind of a hack, but it works so far. Should I continue to use this method or is
there a better solution here?
Thanks again for all your help and patience with a newbie. :)

The same man page tells you that qmail-qfilter sets QMAILUSER and
QMAILHOST to the username and hostname portions of the envelope sender.
Dropping empty messages is something you can do in your filter.
