Re: tmda help

Hi John,

I just took a quick look at your setup and noticed a discrepancy in some 
of your directory locations.  In the first part of your email you stated 
your directory structure was:
> ...

> So now my directory/file setup is now like this:

> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.qmail
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.qmail-default
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/Maildir/
> */home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.tmda/*
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.tmda/config
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.tmda/crypt_key
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.tmda/filters/
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.tmda/lists/
> /home/vpopmail/domain.com/user/.tmda/logs/
>   
You then showed us your .qmail file:
> ...

> ---Begin---
> #| /var/qmail/bin/preline /home/vpopmail/tmda-1.1.12/bin/tmda-filter
> -S /home/vpopmail/bin/vpopmail-vdir.sh

> ./Maildir/
> ---End---

What jumped out at me was the extra directory "domains" between 
"vpopmail" and "domain.com"

Further since you are in a virtual domain setup, you do need to ensure 
that the $HOME environment variable is getting setup properly so that 
the tilde "~" expansion will work, otherwise you should use full paths 
within your config file as you did with the CRYPT_KEY_FILE variable.

Have you tried running tmda-filter yourself?  A simple test to see if 
your setup is working is to just issue a command similar to the following:

$ tmda-filter -M [email protected] [email protected]

where [email protected] is one of the following:

    * the address of your TMDA user e.g. [email protected]
    * a valid tagged address generated using the tmda-address script
      e.g. [email protected]
    * an invalid tagged address generated using the tmda-address script
      e.g. [email protected]

and where [email protected] is an address is your whitelist when 
using the first recipient address form and a non white listed address 
when using the second recipient address form.

If possible you should run these tests from the same user that processes 
you incoming mail so you can be sure that there aren't any file 
permission issues preventing qmail from executing your tmda filter 
setup.  Which brings me to my next question, You did set the permissions 
on your tmda related files as per the documentation right?

Good luck with the rest of your debugging,
