Hello,
some threads seem to disappear in the forum ...
Here once again:
Mails are received via multi-drop, but are not sortet and delivered to the users. All mails are delivered to the admin.
My servers domain name is the same of my internet domain. There I set up a default account, collecting all mails for the domain, then fetching them via one POP-account.
I used the real users names and the aliases that the server makes.
No mail reaches the user.
Whats wrong?
In admin tool the sorting method is set to default.

thats normal behaviour
and why i wrote e-smith-procmail
forward admin to yourself and set up procmail with my panel
see readme.dungog.net
and take a breath register.dungog.net

assuming you don't want to hassle your isp to either
- setup mx for your domain or
- add an X-delivered-to header to your mails

Stefan,
I use the default sort method with SME's and ESSG's multi-drop setting with no problems. If you could examine the headers of the e-mails you are getting through the admin mailbox, perhaps you could see a sort method you could specify as a custom sort method for SME to use ?

I have the same problem. Part of the reason is that we have mail servers upstream that strip out some of the mail headers and then all mail goes to admin.
I have been using Treslemail and that has solved to problem.
If you are interested I will make a Howto and provide you with the configuration and the addon to the the SME Manager panel.

I installed the procmail RPM and all except one question is solved!
Can I create a rule that deletes any other emails for recipients that are not set in other rules?
e.g.
there are users
stefan@xy.de
andreas@xy.de
Procmail forwards the mails to the users in their local mailbox.
I want to delete all other mails e.g.
nobody@xy.de, tester@xy.de etc.
Many thanks to Stephen Noble and his procmail RPM!

I am using version 5.0 and am also trying to set up multi-drop. I get mail from an isp called clipper.net. What I want to do is pick up all mail to ki7ay@clipper.net and then put it into my local account on the e-smith server, user jim@ki7ay.com.
Right now my secondary mail server is mail.clipper.net
pop user account is ki7ay
pop user password is the correct one (hah hah).
Sort method is default.
How can I make sure that my mail is put in the proper place so that I can retrieve it on my e-smith server? The server's name is www.ki7ay.com, which is a valid domain (alhtough hosted on a different isp than clipper).
Any help is appreciated.
