Description semen 2007-02-01 16:20:30 UTC
I did the syscp installation using this man page

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SysCP#Maildrop

but got this errors on testing the maildrop.


# su vmail -c "echo maildummy | maildrop -d validmailuser@domain"

maildrop: Invalid home directory permissions - world writable.

I am using virtual domains and mailboxes. (that is why using syscp)

maildop seams to have no support of mysql, where the homedir and maildir path are stored.

on gentoo linux
# maildrop -v
maildrop 2.0.2 Copyright 1998-2005 Double Precision, Inc.
GDBM extensions enabled.
Courier Authentication Library extension enabled.
Maildir quota extension enabled.

License. See COPYING for additional information.


I see there no mysql support compiled, it should be like on debian

on debian linux
# maildrop -v
maildrop 1.5.2 Copyright 1998-2003 Double Precision, Inc.
Maildir quota extension enabled.
Virtual user database via MySQL extension enabled.

License. See COPYING for additional information.

I found out on syscp website
http://www.syscp.de/wiki/docs/Installation/extensionmaildrop
that also on debain this might be a bug. syscp provides pathes to fix this.

I have got for sure "mysql" in my use flag in /etc/make.conf. Just in case someone do not believe it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install syscp http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SysCP#Maildrop
2. su vmail -c "echo maildummy | maildrop -d validmailuser@domain"
3. maildrop -v

Actual Results:  
maildop does not put spams of virtual users in a so cold spamfolder

Expected Results:  
should create an spamfolder if not exists and put spammails there.
So every user can see his own spams

# maildrop -v did not show any mysqlsupport compiled.

This is not a technical support site for stuff that's not in official portage tree. Move this to syscp forums or whatever.
