qmail -> maildrop -> spamassassin for virtual users using userdb

I'm using qmail to host virtual email accounts, i have a .qmail file for
those virtual users that sends the email to maildrop with the qmail-modified
username (user with the prepended stuff) .. maildrop consults my userdb,
finds the right person, and delivers the mail..

well i want to do maildrop filtering, and I'm having a dickens of a time
finding out how I can do this under these circumstances.. do i need a
.mailfilter file under ~/ ? if so, can i only have 1 .mailfilter file for
all my virtual users, because they all share the same ~/ dir..

my .qmail files use the following to send to maildrop
|/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d "${LOCAL}" || exit 77

i've tried putting a mailfilter after the 'local' with no success..

basically i'm looking for how/where i can execute/put filtering commands for
maildrop in the case of invoking it for virtual users from a .qmail file..

thanks,
kraq

Maildrop + virtual user agent in Postfix or maildrop delivering

Hello.
I'm building mailserver for mailhosting with Postfix 1.1.11 and Maildrop-1.5.0. I want to offer my
customers mail filtering and want to use a maildrop, but I have these problems: 
1. Virtual User Agent (VUA) in Postfix doens't use (I guess) maildrop to filter message through it, unless I
have filled in postfix config mailbox-command. 

Is there any way how to use it together?

2. Another solution and problem. Then I used maildrop in delivering mode, everything OK, but when I have a
user, who doesn't exist, it fails. I have read all discussions about EX_TEMPFAIL and EX_NOUSER, and try to
learn my Postfix check recipient. I use this configuration:

smtpd_recipient_restrictions= check_recipient_access ldap:ldap
                              permit_sasl_authenticated
                              reject

But the problem was, that the permit_sasl_authenticated allows to send the unknown users and without this
directive I wasn't able to send to any other domains (relaying, because I wasn't authenticated_user). I
can't use directive my_networks, because my mailserver will be hosted on backbone. 

Do you have any advices, how to use maildrop with Postfix as a mailhosting server? 
Or do you have a patch for Maildrop 1.5.0 to EX_NOUSER?

Thanks,
Ruda.

maildrop does not read .qmail files.  Whoever told you that was mistaken.

Abnormal Behaviour of Maildrop

Hi,

I installed the maildrop to a qmail+ldap machine.

I set qmail's ldapdefaultdotmode to "both" and add "deliveryProgramPath:
/usr/bin/maildrop" to the user's attribute.

The following is my maildroprc

----------------------------------------------
DEFAULT="Maildir/"
DEFAULT_DEF="/home/mailbox"

if (/^From:.* <at> hotmail\.com/ || /^From:.* <at> yahoo.com/)
{
        echo "Drop by Maildrop"
        to /dev/null
}

if (/^Subject: Hello/ || /^Subject: Go/)
{
    echo "Forward by Maildrop"
    to "/home/mailbox/test"
    exit
}
----------------------------------------------

However When I used "xxx <at> hotmail.com" send a mail to one user, it should be
drop by Maildrop.
But the mail still success to send to the User's mailbox, I checked that the
log said "Drop by Maildrop".
It seems Maildrop checked the mail. (Seems Maildrop function!)

Any setting I miss?

Thanks!!!

Basic Instructions

I would like to start using maildrop. I downloaded the tar file, and
read the Readme and install files, yet I'm still having problems
implementing maildrop into our system. Could someone point me in the
direction of a howto or something.

You don't mention your OS. Most Linux distributions have pre-packaged
binaries available, so you would use whatever packaging system your
distroi uses. Nor do you mention which problems you've had.

Me, I use Debian unstable; I just said "apt-get install maildrop", and it
was done.  After that, it was a matter of configuring my mail server to
use maildrop as local delivery agent, and writing mailfilter files.

LDAP and MailDrop

Is it possible to get Maildrop to read its filtering rules, (per-user), from LDAP?
