Description Rumba 2005-09-08 02:13:14 UTC
Hi,  
  
I'm setting up a mail server with virtual domains using Qmail and Maildrop  
(amongst others). Since these users have no real system accounts Qmail will  
resort the use of the alias user, wich has /var/qmail/alias as $HOME.  
  
I use .qmail files in this directory to let maildrop handle the email  
delivery. The problem is that the alias user is not a trusted user, as set  
with the configure option:  
  
--enable-trusted-users='apache dspam root mail daemon postmaster qmaild mmdf  
vmail'  
  
and I get "You are not a trusted user" in my log files. After editing the  
ebuild so the above configure line looks like this:  
  
--enable-trusted-users='apache dspam root mail daemon postmaster qmaild mmdf  
vmail alias'  
  
Everything works just fine. Could you please add the alias user to the trusted 
users list? 
 
Thanks! 
 
If you need me to test the ebuild, please let me know...

Should be fixed in maildrop-2.0.0. It is p.masked but using it should be safe.

Cheers,
Ferdy
