Yeah, it's issues like this that lead to me recommending againsts the use of @ in mailbox usernames..

We've even got a FAQ about it, though it's mostly specific to Postfix. The problem is a general one, but Postfix chooses to confront it head-on while Sendmail ignores it until you run into weird stuff like this. ;-)

I have similar problems with e-mail not working.
This is part of my procmail log with the problem:

From root@vm200.webfauna.nl Mon Jul 30 21:49:18 2007
Subject: test
Folder: /dev/null 471
/bin/sh: /etc/webmin/virtual-server/procmail-logger.pl: Permission denied
/bin/sh: /etc/webmin/virtual-server/clam-wrapper.pl: Permission denied
procmail: Error while writing to "/etc/webmin/virtual-server/clam-wrapper.pl"
procmail: Program failure (126) of "/etc/webmin/virtual-server/clam-wrapper.pl"


But wat is the fix?

It sounds like the permissions on those files or perhaps directories are incorrect on your system, which is odd as Virtualmin sets them correctly when installing or upgrading.

The fix is to run :

chmod 755 /etc/webmin/virtual-server/*.pl
chmod 755 /etc/webmin/virtual-server
chmod 755 /etc/webmin

These tell procmail to always deliver to users' mailboxes, and never run their .procmailrc files. To change this in Virtualmin, click on the Module Config link on the left meny, go to the 'Spam filtering options' section and change 'Allow mailbox users to configure procmail?' back to 'Yes' (the default). Then click Save, and then the button to re-check the Virtualmin configuration.

Jaime, I am unable to find 'Spam filtering options' or the 'Allow mailbox users to configure procmail' section under Virtualmin > Module Config. Has this been changed or is it located elsewhere? It looks as though I am having the same problem of it bypassing user's specific procmail recipes. Thanks!

It has been moved in newer Virtualmin versions - you can now find it at Email Messages -> Spam and Virus Scanning.

I also have a problem with usermin autoreply. It seems the 'mail forwarding and replies' works on some of my domains but on others it just doesn't work- nothing appears to happen; ust the mai lgoes into the mailbox as normal.

I read above that the 'filter and forward' function is the preffered method. This works on the domains that have problems with 'mail forwarding and replies' except that the mail comes from <username>.<userdomain>@<myservername>.com instead of <username>@<userdomain>.com

Any ideas how to either fix the autoreply email address or how to get 'forwarding and replies' working on all domains?
