Well, not quite.  You have to wrap this in a simple command, e.g.

| mywrapper

where mywrapper contains:

#!/bin/sh
myfilter | vdelivermail -d bounce-no-mailbox

I actually implemented this in my copy of vdelivermail.c.  It was actually
easier than I thought, and there were fewer issues, apparently, although I'm
not intimately familiar enough to know that I haven't missed something.

Here's what I did:

I tentatively reclaimed the unused there-for-compatibility command-line
argument 1.  If that argument equals '-d', intended to mean "Deliver Only"
(but could also mean Disable .qmail processing), then processing proceeds as
if the .qmail file did not exist, which I guess is just what Kyle Wheeler
was suggesting.  That appears to be all there is do it.

This change allows you do basic filtering in your .qmail files without
needing any of:

procmail
maildrop
maildir/safecat

In my book this is a very good thing.  It not only avoids the need for
dependencies on extra packages, but offers all the advantages that
vdelivermail already provides, including quota checking.  As README.quotas
says:

> NOTE: Non-system domain quotas are only enforcable when vdelivermail is the
> local delivery agent.  If you pipe your mail into anything else, like
> maildrop, then the non-system domain quota will be ignored.

So with this change, you can now have the following line in your user/.qmail
file:

| myfilter | vdelivermail -d bounce-no-mailbox

and it will not result in infinite vdelivermail recursion.  And so you can
have a pure-vpopmail solution for your QmailAdmin-enabled Spam Detection
option.

Here are the changes to vdelivermail.c in vpopmail-5.4.10 needed to
implement this:

It was probably eaiser for me to do that than it would have been to download
and make procmail, maildrop, or safecat!

If there's not something wrong with this that I'm missing, I'd love to see
this (or something similar) get integrated into vpopmail.

Domains, and go to domain eka-p.net to check new user that 
i have created : [EMAIL PROTECTED] but vqadmin says domains 
eka-p.net does not exist and thereis no entry for my new

Re: [vchkpw] how to do simple vpopmail delivery with filtering

[Tom Collins]

By the way, I plan to revisit the vdelivermail code sometime (hopefully 
soon) and have it set the environment variables correctly, to match 
what qmail-local would set if it was a non-virtual domain.

This should make some of your .qmail and other scripts easier to 
write...

I had confirmed the behavior he was indicating by doing something like:

| (pwd; env) > /tmp/info

in the user/.qmail file and it confirmed that indeed the working directory
was set to the user directory, the one containing the ".qmail" file being
executed by vdelivermail.

The env output for me did not include any PWD variable.  I wonder who sets
the PWD variable on your system, and whether it can be relied on to match
what chdir sets.  Maybe this depends on which *nix you are using.

Yes, "home directory" is not at all pertinent here, not for virtual domains.

The .qmail-whatever files in the domain directory are different.  For them
pwd shows the domain directory as the working directory.  But for the .qmail
file inside the user directory, vdelivermail is taking care of it, and the
vdelivermail.c code reveals that a chdir is done prior to reading the .qmail
file.  In fact it is opened simply via

fs = fopen(".qmail","r")

The current directory in effect before opening the .qmail file appears to
remain in effect while the file is processed.

backend shouldn't matter.  How about doing a 
packet capture (tcpdump) and seeing if Thunderbird is actually trying?  
Sometimes things can happen so fast it may seem like it's not 
trying.
 
Also, how about TLS.  Doesn't Thunderbird try TLS 
by default?  How about turning that off?

Hey, this is Joshua Coucke (on my work 
account)
 
I have been able to get the email server 
working on postgres like I said.  However, I can not send 
messages.  I get an error message telling me that Thunderbird can 
not connect to the SMTP server.
 
When I check in the vlog table it has this 
error "vchkpw-pop3: vpopmail user not found 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:x.x.x.x"
 
Now the user is in the database, I can see 
it using phppgadmin and the vuserinfo command.  So why is 
vchkpw-pop3 not finding the user?
 
Thanks,

I don't think Thunderbird does TLS by 
default.  At least I have it turned off on mine.

Really? When I check out the environment from one of those .qmail files 
(e.g. by creating a qmail file containing:

| printenv > /tmp/env

That file contains the line:

PWD=/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/memoryhole.net

Indicating that if I directed it to ./Maildir/ it would deliver to 
/var/lib/vpopmail/domains/memoryhole.net/Maildir/ which of course 
doesn't exist.

Just because the .qmail file is in the user's home directory doesn't 
mean it's PWD is the user's home directory. If vpopmail actually does 
deliver to /var/lib/vpopmail/domains/memoryhole.net/user/Maildir/ when I 
put ./Maildir/ into my user's .qmail file, then it's behaving 
incorrectly. The environment SHOULD be set identically to if the virtual 
user was a real user and qmail was doing the delivery.
