[courier-imap] All version won't be compiled

Hello,
I'm trying to compile the new courier-imap 2.2.1 because i have never get
the old one compiled, and i'm getting now the same problem that the old
release.

I'm using :
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier-imap --disable-root-check
--without-authpam --without-authldap \
--without-authpwd --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql
--without-authshadow --without-authuserdb \
--without-authcustom --without-authcram --without-authdaemon
--with-authvchkpw --with-ssl

as configure command,
and i'm getting this error, in the last seconds of execution of the
configure script :

--------------------------------------------------------------

checking for setsid... yes
checking for setlogin... no
checking for crypt in -lcrypt... yes

My ~/.mailfilters/default looks like this: 

if ( /^From: *!.*/ && lookup ($MATCH2, "drop.list"))
{
       exit
} 

Where ~/.mailfilters/drop.list is a list of email addresses I want to 
block..  This doesn't work..  Is this a failure in understanding how 
maildrop works, or my maildrop is screwed up? 

Q2, I tried doing this to my /usr/local/courier/etc/maildroprc and it wasn't 
too happy..  :-( 

Thanks.
Albert

$ man maildropfilter
[SNIP]
                              filename is a name of a  file  con-
     taining  a  list of patterns. Note that filename is relative
     to the current directory, which is the home directory of the
     user  when maildrop runs in delivery mode, or embedded mode.
[SNIP]

So try putting ".mailfilters/drop.list" in your lookup command.  You
could also use "$HOME/.mailfilters/drop.list" if you want to make doubly
certain.

MySQL maildrop problems

Hi,

Yesterday I fell victim to the maildrop bouncing messages when MySQL was
unavailable issue. While doing some db maintenance, I managed to
hopelessly lock up MySQL.

The next thing I knew, Maildrop had bounced 7 legitimate messages before
I shut down the MTA.

I've been using Maildrop 1.6.2, and am aware of Chris Master's patch for
this issue, sent to the list on October 15.

I downloaded 1.6.3, but couldn't figure out how to get "patch" to
automatically update the source from the diff file Chris sent. So I
manually edited the source, and made the changes listed in the diff. But
it wouldn't compile.

Can someone update this patch for 1.6.3, and explain how to apply it?

One other issue. I next tried to compile 1.6.3 as is, with exactly the
same configure options as I'd used for 1.6.2:

./configure --enable-maildropldap --enable-maildropmysql \
--enable-maildirquota --enable-trusted-users="root dspamcgi mail"

I set the binary to setUID root, changed it to the ownership of the
1.6.2 version, but the new binary immediately started bouncing messages
again with this in my maillog: 

status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified.

maybe i will shut down the mailserver if some mysql checks fail. so i
get an sms notification because of the outage of the mailserver.
incoming mails would just wait on the secondary mx.

no mails would get lost. and customers which try to send mails get an
error. better an error than a bounce.

Qmail + maildrop question

I use qmail to scan my incoming and outgoing messages for virus, using
qmail-scanner. I don't have local users. I use smtproutes to deliver scanned
messages to another mail server.
For outgoing messages, users connect directly to qmail's SMTP.
Can i use maildrop to copy some user's (not all) messages to a local audit
account ?
And can I do this using keywords too (i.e. copy every message that contains
the word sex to an local audit account) ?
And the last one, copy messages with some kinds of attachments, like xls,
doc, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Re: MySQL maildrop problems


I'm going to spend some time getting a decent diff
together for the latest version (to submit to the
devleopers), but it won't be right now.

If you need this functionality try and apply the
changes to 1.6.2 and let me know if you have any
compilation issues.

Cheers, Chris

replacing deliverquota with maildrop

I run my mail server on FreeBSD 4.9 and am using exim and courier-imap
with virtual mail users whose details are held in a mysql database. For
incoming mail exim verifies the user, retrieves the location of the
virtual user's Maildir, and currently hands off to deliverquota from a
transport that includes the following:

 command = /the/path/to/deliverquota -w 90 \
               /the/path/to/the/virtual/user/Maildir/

Which works really well.

I want to replace deliverquota with maildrop in order to be able to use
per user mailfilters. I have tried modifying the hand off to:

 command = /the/path/to/maildrop -w 90 \
               -d /the/path/to/the/virtual/user/Maildir/

but get the following error:
  mail maildrop[15485]: Invalid user specified.

I have been searching the net and the archives but have ended up more
confused than enlightened!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks
Graeme

The -d option to maildrop specifies the userid to whom the message is to be 
delivered to.  Normally it's only used when maildrop is invoked by root; 
maildrop looks up the userid's home directory, and delivers to 
$HOME/Maildir.  The alternative is to arrange to have maildrop invoked under 
the recipient's userid, in which case it can figure out the home directory 
on its own.

maildrop is mail delivery agent for system accounts; there is no direct
