Forwarding won't work sadly. It's complicated but it's a legal
situation. As such, I need to both transparently block and archive
email from this individual. The accounts that the emails are going to
are active as well, so a forward is unusable.
I've tried that tread but thus far, been unable to make that solution
work. I'll attempt it again. Here's exactly what I'm doing, and I'll
output the results. Maybe someone can shed some light on things. For
testing I'll be using completely new email accounts.
01 - Created accounts "test" and "vault".
02 - Under /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain/test/ there is no .qmail
file or .mailfilter file. Created them.
03 - Inserted the following into the .qmail file:
|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A 'Content-Filter:
maildrop-toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter
04 - Inserted the following into the .mailfilter file:
if ( /^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ )
{
log "$TIMESTAMP - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Banned redirected to Vault"
to "|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -a [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
}
05 - Just for giggles, restarted qmail. (qmailctl restart)
06 - Sent email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
07 - Mail immediately arrives in [EMAIL PROTECTED] account.
Any ideas?

I'm at my wits end. I need to have all email from a series of
addresses automatically redirected from their intended recipients to
an alternate address. After searching the mailing list, I was able
to locate this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com/msg04708.html
But I'm simply unable to make it work. The mail is still delivered
to the original adressee. I need to get this working ASAP, so any
help is greatly appreciated.
Here's the un-altered version from the archives:
In the user's directory (/home/vpopmail/domains/whatever.com/user1/)
edit the .qmail file to something like this to run your mailfilter
script:
|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A 'Content-Filter:
maildrop-toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter
That was already there. Looks like it was created when I created the
user. I looked in the /etc/mail/mailfilter file itself and I saw that
it includes a .mailfilter file in the user's home directory, so I put
my rules into there:
if ( /^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ )
{
log "$TIMESTAMP - [EMAIL PROTECTED] fax redirected to rightuser"
to "|/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -a [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
}
------------------------------------------------
Basically you need to make sure that you're running maildrop for each
user that needs this feature, and then add a .maildrop file in their
homedir. Write the .maildrop file to do like the example above.
On the other hand, wouldn't it just be easier to spin these emails
into aliases/forwards for the other address?
