[vchkpw] vpopmail and procmail
hi all i have trouble figuring out procmail with vpopmail. i have compiled the procmail procmail changing this variables in ~/procmail-3.22/src/authenticate.c #ifndef MAILSPOOLDIR #define MAILSPOOLDIR/home/vpopmail/domains//* watch the trailing / */ #endif #ifndef MAILSPOOLSUFFIX #define MAILSPOOLSUFFIX / /* suffix to force maildir or MH style */ #endif #ifndef MAILSPOOLHASH #define MAILSPOOLHASH 0 /* 2 would deliver to /var/spool/mail/b/a/bar */ #endif then i call .qmail-user file after a domain .qmail-default file like this: |spamc -u $EXT@$HOST |/usr/local/bin/qmail_procmail where qmail_procmail is a wrapper script for the procmail with preline in the .procmailrc file under user/ i have only this (Trash for tests only): :0: * ./domain.com/user/Maildir/.Trash/ the mail log says that the delivery is a success and is but mails are not diverted to the Trash directory.. should i set up MAILSPOOLHASH to 2?! that my was next step... any ideas welcome. thanks... --
Vpopmail with procmail and serialmail
Hi all, my name is Giuliano and I write from Italy. I contact the mailing list because I have a doubt with vpopmail. My vpopmail is 4.9.8-1. I have installed vpopmai4.9.8-1,serialmail-0.75 and procmail3.15-1. My doubt is: I use vpopmail and so my domains are in the /var/qmail/vpopmail/domains. I must use the package serialmail because I have only dialup line and the procmail for process all mail incoming. Serialmail and procmail uses the file /home/users/.qmail but I don't have it because I use the vpopmail. Must I create it ? If I create the file /home/users/.qmail, can the package vpopmail use it ? Is logic to use the file /home/users/.qmail if I have the vpopmail installed ? If I can't use the file /home/users/.qmail how can work with serialmail and procmail ? Vpopmail have a .qmail file ? Can you help me , please ? Thanking in advance and sorry for my english. Giuliano.

could someone give me a brief run down of how to use procmail with qmail and vpopmail? or at least point me in the right direction? thanks charlie
vpopmail and procmail
Dear All I want to do some message filtering, and have set a .qmail-tester in the relevant domain thus: |/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/qmail-procmail greg However procmail appears to be ignoring this and going for /home/vpopmail/.procmailrc An ideas or do I need to do something special list set an ENV_VAR and get procmail to use that ? Thanks Greg

Thanks Greg PLease forgive: a) me answering my own posts. b) asking a stupid question - procmail is using $HOME - doh ! So should I hardcode the .promailrc location with command line arguments within the .qmail file or is there an easier way ? Stupidly, Greg
Vpopmail and Procmail
Hi - Does anyone use procmail with vpopmail? If so, does anyone use it domain wide rather than on a per user basis? I recently submitted a patch against the vpopmail tree that makes vpopmail more friendly towards using procmail in front of the vdelivermail executable ie having a .qmail-default containing | preline procmail | vdelivermail.. More specifically it stopped it generating a bogus blank email with Delivered-to and Return-path headers when procmail has filtered the email off somewhere else (for instance quarantining it if it contains a virus). This allows the use of a procmail filter domain wide rather than having to implement the same script on a user by user basis (which works nicely but isnt what I want to do). Since the patch hasnt generated any response I was wondering if there is an easier way of solving this?

[PATCH] Vpopmail with procmail and non-delivering recipes
Hi -
I've been using a combination of qmail/vpopmail/procmail and John
Hardin's email security procmail recipes (see
http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html) recently
with what seems to be good success.
However, vpopmail in its vanilla form gets in the way of the procmail
recipes due to the piping of procmail before the vdelivermail
executable in a domains .qmail-default like:
| preline procmail -m /path/to/rcfile |
/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
(Note this should all be one line and requires your procmail recipe to
deliver to stdout by default - see
http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/pipermail/procmail/2000-May/74.html)
The upshot of this is that if a procmail recipe quarantines an email
with a non-delivering recipe (or at least one that delivers a security
message to the domains postmaster and not one to the intended
recipient), procmail pipes an empty message to vpopmail (of no
length), but then vdelivermail tags the empty message with the
Delivered-To and Return-Path headers (taken from the qmail process
environment variables?) and delivers this to the users maildir.
The following patch to vdelivermail.c checks to see if the incoming
mail is of length0 and only delivers if this is true, thus allowing
the procmail pipe. You may well be able to do this check earlier in
the code (before the delivery goes as far as the tmp/ directory) but I
couldnt get any other place to work reliably.
caveat
I'm not sure how useful this is for anyone else, but I haven't found
any other way of using John's recipes with vpopmail so I thought I'd
post it. I haven't lost any mail because of it but that doesn't mean
you wont! If anyone has a better way of doing this, email me because
I'd be interested how they did it.
/caveat
Hope its of use,
Marcus

What does your .procmailrc and .qmail file look like? For vpopmail, you need to specify the location of the .procmailrc on the command line in the .qmail file. Otherwise, it will look in $HOME/.procmailrc, which is something like /home/vpopmail/.procmailrc, which is probably not what you want... /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- "MSDOS didn't get as bad as it is overnight -- it took over ten years of careful development."

In maildrop you can pipe to an external program. rblcheck is a spiffy little piece of code that will exit with a non-zero exit code if the requested IP is listed in any of the lists you ask it to use. That exitcode becomes available (I believe) in the variable $EXITCODE in your script. You could quite easily tag, reject, save to a different folder, etc based on the results. Use maildrop. It rules!
