Usermin - Filter and Forward Mail

Howdy,

How did you go about installing Usermin (and perhaps Virtualmin)? Did you use the Virtualmin install.sh script?

That would normally setup procmail for you -- and procmail not being used by Postfix/Sendmail is one way the above message could come up.

Yes, I've installed Virtualmin via install.sh script @ Debian 5.0 Lenny.

Email is working fine, but I really need those forward rules... so how can I setup procmail for my Postfix?

Okay, I'm suspicious that something may be awry in the procmail config.

Can you post your procmailrc file? That's in /etc/procmailrc.

Thanks!

My /etc/procmailrc

LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
TRAP=/etc/webmin/virtual-server/procmail-logger.pl
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
DROPPRIVS=yes
:0
$DEFAULT

And in /var/log/procmail.log I see a lot of log with my emails, everthing seems fine there.

Hi, If you're getting the error: "Warning - The system is configured to not process user-defined mail filters. Filters defined here will not be used." you need to log into the Virtualmin virtual server control panel (possibly with root access -- depending on what permissions were set for your server) and look for the "Email Messages" setting. Click the triangle and a list of four options should appear. Click on "Spam and Virus Scanning." Now on the right side, in the form that appears, look for the "Allow mailbox users to create mail filters?" setting. Click "Yes" and save that.

Of course this assumes you have complete access to your virtual server. If you don't, you'll have to check with your sys admin to have this done for you.
