Focusing on maildroprc, I have the config specified below. The second last step is to log the line "Delivered normally to [path]", and the last step is the "to" command to perform the delivery. Despite logging the second last line correctly, and despite returning an apparent "successful" response back to postfix, the message vanishes completely and no delivery takes place: Delivered normally to [path] Date: Thu May 16 07:25:31 2013 From: "Facebook" &lt;[snip]&lt; at &gt;facebookmail.com&gt; Subj: [snip] File: [path] (11286) This problem seems limited only to email sent back to the poster from mailman, it does not affect other mail, which has been working fine on this server for many years.

You are right, there was a /var/vmail/.mailfilter that handled delivery and the problem seemed to resolve itself once I removed the debug script so it seems using $* to pass on the arguments to the real binary was messing things up.

Courier-maildrop is only for Courier. Looks like maildrop gets invoked to deliver mail to the 'vmail' user, for all recipients, with the recipient's actual email address passed as a parameter. The vmail user must have a .mailfilter file that figures out where the mail gets delivered to. That's script is doing something wrong, and that's what you need to fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.

A discussion about small patch enabling adding flags (your 'S' is one of them) in maildrop process directly is here. This patch is even added as experimental in FreeBSD courier port, so if you were using it, it just needs to be enabled in config. I do not know about standalone maildrop port, but I think it could be added easily. With this patch, your filtering snippet would be if (/^X-Spam-Status: Yes/:h) {MFLAGS=S to Maildir/.Junk } I am using it with F flag for marking some mail as important for some years already with no known side effect or problem. Your delay may be caused by other reason - I think mail is delivered into new directory and moved into cur directory after some mail agent sees it. I did not bother with this, simple patch mentioned in that mail thread was just enough for me. See that thread for some more discussion.

However, I've run into a small problem, the filter runs faster than the actual delivery, so I have to spin waiting for the file to appear. My filter is below. I'm wondering, is there an easier/better way to do this in the first place? Is it ever contemplated to add this as a feature?

I seem to have got it working after transferring the mda command ie the one invoking maildrop, from fetchmail to postfix. Thanks to the fetchmail list people, also. Also got caught with the 'if' statement syntax in .mailfilter. The grammar of this is stricter than usual. As stated in the manual, the closing parenthesis, the closing braces, and the else statement, must be at the end of the line (comments are allowed), and there may not be any blank lines in between (not even ones containing comments only).

By default, messages are handed off to your SMTP listener on Port 25, which is Postfix in your situation. This is what actually happens, shown by your logs and configuration. 2. desire: you want maildrop to be invoked. You can either A. use fetchmail to call upon maildrop directory (which will not work in multidrop mode) or, alternatively, and what I propose, B. tell Postfix to invoke maildrop instead. There are several ways to do that, and either your Postfix or maildrop configuration would document ways how to do this.

If you need to pop mail from upstream, it's [ISP's POP server] -&gt; fetchmail -&gt; maildrop -&gt; dovecot. If you want to do both, you have to have postfix -&gt; maildrop -&gt; dovecot &amp; you might as well inject the outside mail into postfix queue with fetchmail -&gt; postfix -&gt; maildrop -&gt; dovecot. You can't really get rid of postfix, it's needed for things like cron etc., but if you can throw all your mail at ISP, you could do fetchmail -&gt; maildrop -&gt; dovecot &amp; have postfix set up to "send only". If you can open your postfix to the big bad internet you could forward your mail from ISP and get rid of fetchmail. </pre> Dimitri Maziuk 2013-01-27T16:10:07 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.maildrop/5177 <pre> I just wanted to reiterate what Sam said. It does not appear that the problem is with maildrop. It appears that your issue is how mail is being handled in Postfix. Let's get rid of all of the extra stuff in your logs: So you're querying for user "lists". And it gave it to your local Postfix. Your local postfix then must be configured to pass that mail to maildrop for the recipient that it's addressed. Thus far, you have shown how maildrop is configured, but you have not shown how you have configured postfix to call maildrop. That is where your problem will lie. ...Todd </pre> Todd Lyons 2013-01-27T14:50:25 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.maildrop/5176 <pre> Obviously maildrop isn't getting invoked, then, to deliver those mails.
