Hi, well I took maildrop out of the Fetchmal config, and started looking at how Fetchmail Exim4 and Dovecot work together and see there, Maildrop.log in each user's home directory and it seems to be working perfectly. Seems like Exim4 had the correct config set up, but Maildrop was not installed. I have one copy, and I installed that via apt last week. Very strange.

MTAs typically don't need a separate MDA just to dump mail into user's mailbox, so maildrop & procmail don't get installed by default.

Next step look at local delivery where possible, and filtering with maildrop. And, yes, it does seem to be using the .mailfilter files correctly for each user.

I was kinda hoping that it was the case. That's what makes this setup easier. cheers

If I understand correctly then Exim will try all its mail transports till one works,
and I guess the Maildrop one now works since I installed Maildrop.

Thats my explanation and I'm sticking to it <G>


Anyway, I have everything working now the way I wanted it and the scripts are
triggered the way I expected. So thanks very much for your tip, and all the others
that replied.

Cheers Brian
