Maildrop filter

[beef_yo]

I'm having a bit of difficulty getting maildrop to do what I want it to to - I grabbed a script off a website that filters mail marked as spam into a user's folder called '.spam'.

However when I add the line to the script into the domain's .qmail-defaults directory mail no longer gets delivered at all.

I'd rather not go into the script that I used as it wasn't written for a QMT installation anyway, instead I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to the best way to accomplish this kind of thing on a QMR install.

Any hints?

did you ever get that figured out?

I've noticed that there is no post to that problem so here is what works for me:
I've just setup this and it seams to work for now.
I've set ip up to use .qmail-default for delivering to users that doesn't have their own filters setup. If the user have setup a mailfilter then the same file can be included in the user filter.

1. create a global mailfilter file touch /home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter
2. change the owner of the file: chown vpopmail.vchkpw /home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter
3. Edit the file: vi /home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter
Here is the content:
SHELL="/bin/bash"
import EXT
import HOST
VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox"
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`
VDOMHOME=`dirname "$VHOME"`
#logfile "/home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter.log"

DUMMY=`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
{
DUMMY=`test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
# log "Createing spam directory $VHOME/Maildir"
DUMMY=`/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $VHOME/Maildir/`
# log "$RETURNCODE"
DUMMY=`echo INBOX.Spam >> $VHOME/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed`
}
}

if ( /^X-Spam-Status: Yes/ )
{
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam"
# log "Message delivered to $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam"
}
else
{
DUMMY=`test -f $VDOMHOME/.qmail-$EXT`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
to "$VPOP"
}
}

4. Change the .qmail-default for the domain to
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter

That's it.
If some user have it's own filter implemented by creating .qmail-[user] file that pipes to maildrop, make sure the user filter includes the global filter:
include "/home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter"

I've personaly have installed serversidefilter plugin for squirellmail and have tweaked it to include the file automaticaly.

Hope this helps.

Lukav, I'm trying to get the latest ServerSidePlugin running on my QMR installation and am having problems. Basically, I did the basic install following the README in the serversidefilter directory. The filter shows up in SquirrelMail's Options. I can add a filter, but they don't seem to be written to the disk as they are gone if I leave and come back to the rule configuration again.

If I try the test.sh in the script folder, I get this:

[root@fedora2 script]# ./test.sh
IMAP username: test@mydomain.com
IMAP password: xxxxxxxx
Can't find uid/gid for user
RESULT: 11
Can't find uid/gid for user
RESULT: 11
Can't find uid/gid for user
RESULT: 11
If you do not need to perform additional tests, remove the file test_creds
Remove now? (Y/n): y

I get the same error in my var/log/httpd/error_log. Do you have any idea about this error?

Did anyone get this working?

I gave up on this and just hand created the filters. I don't have but a dozen users and most only care about having their spam moved into a Junk Email folder. The others, I just hand code as the users ask for the rules. Not very maintainable, but it works on such a small scale.
