Can maildrop forward to a large number of recipients?

Hello,

Basic question. But does maildrop have a capability of forwarding an 
email to a large number of recipients? IE, if I write to a particular 
email address from a particular email address, can it forward to, say, a 
thousand people?

procmail limits the maximum number of people to the maximum characters 
handled by the shell. I was wondering if maildrop does it differently.

I'm not aware of any limits however maildrop is really not a great tool 
for maintaining a mailing list (your using a hammer to put in the 
screw...)  I would recommend you look at either Courier's built in 
mailing list software or mailman.

Documentation on the "to" command

Hello,

I am trying to find the documentation for this, but it's not on the 
homepage. Also, this is a difficult term to search for in 
google/maillist because of it's ubiquity.

Basically, if a user receives a certain email, I need the email to relay 
to a list of people in file /var/list.txt. So the recipe looks something 
like:

if ( /^From: joe <at> example.com/ )
{
to /people/in/var/list.txt
}

I know the "to" command is meant for a particular email list, but is 
there a similar command for forwarding to the whole list? If someone can 
just point me in the right direction of where the documentation is, I'd 
much appreciate it.

I was thinking of using mailman, but it seems a bit overkill since this 
is a one-way newsletter that goes out every month or so.

- Steve

Then you need to use a real mailing list manager, instead of hacking 
something together, with glue and duct tape.

Maildrop/MySQL - ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Connection refused

Hello all,

I'm running Debian Sarge and have installed the packages necessary to
run Postfix, courier-authdaemon and courier-imap with all user
information stored in a MySQL database. I've followed the instructions
on http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-sarge/

However, this setup does not use maildrop to deliver mails; as I
appreciate maildrops filtering capabilites, I would like to get it to
handle the final delivery.

Without maildrop, delivery works just fine. When I use maildrop, I get
this in the logs:

May 13 16:44:28 fook postfix/pipe[18070]: 7C5969AC140:
to=<xxx <at> xxx.xxx>, relay=maildrop, delay=0, status=deferred (temporary
failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed:
Connection refused /usr/local/courier-maildrop/bin/maildrop: Temporary
authentication failure. )

This is also what I get when I run maildrop from the command line, e.g:
$ /usr/local/courier-maildrop/bin/maildrop -d xxx <at> xxx.xxx -V
ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Connection refused
/usr/local/courier-maildrop/bin/maildrop: Temporary authentication failure.

But authdaemond is running and Courier IMAP works...

When I use the package courier-maildrop from Debian, I get

temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Invalid user

You can start by writing a perl script to post your NL. but as time 
goes, you'll need more and more features. and your hacks will be more 
overkill than the available ML software.

That said, I agree that mailman, sympa, ... are overkill. time to write 
new ML management software?
