Spam filtering with Postfix + Spamassasin + maildrop
Hello all,

I would like to ask for your help. I'm trying to configure my Ubuntu Server 8.10 x64 to act as a mail server. I'd like to make it able to filtering spam emails.

So, I've followed this tutorial to set up the needed configs and packages.

After that, I changed my config files, like this wiki page says.

Now, I've got a working mailing system with a webmail interface (atmail open). If somebody send me a spam, the system adds to the mail subject the ****SPAM**** string and the original text of the mail is in an attached plain-text file, the mail contains only a warning message.

I just want only one last thing to get work: messages with ****SPAM**** string in the subject should go to the following directory: /home/vmail/$d/$u/Maildir/.Spam (where $d=domain, $u=user, these variables come from Postfix virtual user's config)

I tried to use the maildrop for this. I added this to my /etc/postfix/master.cf:

Code:
maildrop  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}

and it's my /etc/maildroprc (it's so simple because I just want see if it works):

Code:
to "/home/vmail/tesztgep.hu/subchee/Maildir/.Spam"

But this is not working. All the incoming massages go to the Inbox instead os Spam... I checked the /var/log/mail.log file and there isn't anything related maildrop. The maildrop is installed:

Code:
root@tesztgep:/# dpkg -l | grep maildrop
ii  maildrop                                   2.0.4-3                            mail delivery agent with filtering abilities

Here is my full master.cf file. Could anybody help me, please? I can't find out what is the problem.

Thanks in advance
