Maildrop automatic dir creation

Hi,

I've done the tutorial from this site on mail filtering (http://www.howtoforge.com/postfix_mailfilter), which works great and mail gets filtered and delivered properly now. I have one problem though.

In the /etc/maildroprc there's all kind of things to create the virtual domain dir and the maildir for the user in case it doesn't exist yet. But I kept getting "Unable to change to home directory." errors, and after checking the maildrop source, I noticed that the maildroprc doesn't get loaded until after it tries to change to the /home/vmail/domain.tld/user directory, so all those things in the maildroprc are basically there for nothing, because if it ever gets there, it means all those directories already exist.

Of course the above can be fixed by just creating the directories myself, but I rather have it creating it in case it doesn't exist yet. Is there some way to do that using maildrop techniques, or will I have to create something for it myself?

Also, currently Squirrelmail creates subfolders (like .Spam) the first time you login to an account, but is there some nice way to do that as well when an account is created and the first mail arrives to it before the user has logged in?

Thanks,
Theo

 

I haven't worked with that tutorial yet, so I'm afraid I can't help you...

 

I've worked with it and the script he posted was surely not working for me so i writen my own maybe it is usefull to u

/etc/maildroprc

Code:

#
# Define variables
#
SHELL="/bin/bash"
EXTENSION="$1"
RECIPIENT=tolower("$2")
HOME="/home/vmail"
USER="$3"
HOST="$4"
SENDER="$5"
DEFAULT="$HOME/$HOST/$USER"
MAILDIR="$HOME/$HOST/$USER"

logfile "/var/log/maildrop.log"
log "Markers:   ---------------------------------------------"
log " (**) from config file, (II) informational, (WW) warning"
log "--------------------------------------------------------"
log ""

`test -e $HOME/$HOST`
if ( $RETURNCODE != 0 )

        `/bin/chmod -R 0700 $HOME/$HOST`
}

`test -r $HOME/mailfilters/$HOST`
if( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
{
        log "(==)  Including $HOME/mailfilters/$HOST"
        include $HOME/mailfilters/$HOST
}

example filter for my domain:
/home/vmail/mailfilters/colddot.nl

Code:

if( /^X-Spam-Flag: YES/ )
{
        to "$DEFAULT/.Trash/"
}

I hope it is isefull for u
