Hi
I donīt know very well the maildrop. Also, instead of qmail, I have
installed it over sendmail (freebsd). Now, itīs working very well, but I
need do somethings to do this (ufa!). First, I compiled and installed
without errors, but this isnīt not suficiently to do it work. So, after a
hard work I discovered somethings. I donīt know if it apply in your case,
but if yes, this save you of a hard work:
1 - Problem: maildrop donīt get deliver the messages
(qmail return ...Deffered)
Solution: compile with --enable-restric-trusted=0
option (see manual for explanation)
2 - Problem: /etc/maildrop isnīt executed
Possible cause: this file maybe a syntax error.
Solution: compile with --enable-syslog=1, execute
maildrop and see the /var/log/maillog
Sugestion: put flags (DBN=`touch /tmp/dbn`) in many
places on the filter file to test your flow
3 - Problem: /etc/maildrop flow is working very well,
but "to" and "cc" command donīt.
Cause: this commands invoke the command "sendmail" to
execute "to" and "cc". But the command "sendmail"
donīt work in filter file (I donīt why).
Solution: Intead of
"to NNN"
execute
"(edit /tmp/xxx before)
CMD=`mail NNN < /tmp/xxx`
exit"
(*)The unique thing that I donīt got to do is define the "From:"
parameter in message sended with the "mail command". Do you know
how do it?
Probaly this hints donīt apply in your case, bacause your system maybe
configured different of mine.
IF YOU KNOW HOW I RESOLVE MY PROBLEM(*) PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE TO ME
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), THANK YOU.
