Hi all,
ok, after looking at all of the posts that I've found, and trying
numerous settings, I am a little stumped as to how to set up the deliver
program with qmail to get everything correct.
Ultimately, I really don't want to do a lookup of the home dir if I
don't have to. I'd rather specify the stuff in the .qmail-user file for
that particular user to avoid the extra step.
In looking in the wiki, it says for users without a lookup to use
HOME=/path/to/user/homedir deliver -f $FROM_ENVELOPE
but I can't do that in the .qmail file, which would normally look something
like this :
|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f
${SENDER:-<>}
I would rather not do the master authentication socket as described for obvious
reasons.
is there a format in the .qmail file that I can use with deliver to achieve what
I want???
Thanks,
Tim.
Timo or anyone, any insight into this??? I really just want to tell dovecot's deliver where the home directory is without having to fork another process to do it. I may be able to create a shell script that set the env variable and then launched deliver, but that's another fork that I'd rather not have, and since I already know the home dir when I set up the .qmail-user file, I'd rather just set it... help...

I always found that qmail's (and qmail-send's) queue spooling behaviour was what really hurted, with a dozen (or so) synchronous writes for just spooling the message into the queue... -- Matthias Andree
