Hi,
currently setting up my new PLESK server (upgrading from v8) and found this very nice script! I´m not familar to Plesk’s eventhandler so it would be perfect if someone could tell me how to register this script with plesk?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Joerg

Now it works as it should. It additionally checks if the Mailbox got disabled. And I replaced the default .procmailrc entry with one that reflects the quota system:

[...] # Write out our custom .qmail file, only changing the deliverquota line # to procmail. open(QMAILCFG, ">$userdir/$qmailcfg"); my($newmailbox) = $ENV{'NEW_MAILBOX'}; my($oldline); foreach $oldline (@oldqmailcfg) { chomp($oldline); if (($oldline =~ /procmail/) && ($newmailbox eq "false")) { ### purge this line } elsif ($oldline =~ /deliverquota/) { print QMAILCFG "| /usr/bin/procmail -m -o .procmailrc\n"; } else { print QMAILCFG "$oldline\n"; } } close(QMAILCFG);


# If the procmail file does not already exist, write out a totally base

# config file. If you want to move tagged spam to a different folder,

# you will need to update this. If it already exists, leave it alone.

if (! -f "$userdir/$procmailcfg") {

open(PROCMAILCFG, ">$userdir/$procmailcfg");

print PROCMAILCFG "MAILDIR=$userdir/$maildir\n";

print PROCMAILCFG "\n";

print PROCMAILCFG ':0 E' . "\n";

print PROCMAILCFG '| /usr/bin/deliverquota $MAILDIR' . "\n";

close(PROCMAILCFG);

}

[...]

regards
Lukas.

hmm…
the above script is not better. it deletes the procmail entry of .qmail when changing aliases. sorry.

That’s a great script, thanks!

What it’s missing is the removal of the procmail line in .qmail if the Mailbox gets disabled (forward only).

I changed the appropriate part of the script to the following:

[...]
my($oldline);
foreach $oldline (@oldqmailcfg) {
chomp($oldline);
if ($oldline =~ /procmail/) {
# Do nothing
} elsif ($oldline =~ /deliverquota/) {
print QMAILCFG “| /usr/bin/procmail -m -o .procmailrc\n”;
} else {
print QMAILCFG “$oldline\n”;
}
}
[...]

Glad to hear you got it working! ;)

I will add a note to self to post the code as actual downloadable files versus cut/paste in WordPress, which should resolve this issue – I always forget how badly WordPress munges up code. ;(

Nevermind, found the missing in the html code :)

I just tried to get the automatic .procmailrc creation up and running. I added the Evenhandlers for E-Mail account creation and update but it seems I can’t get it to work. If I run the perl script directly from the commandline I get the following error:

syntax error at /usr/local/sbin/add-procmail-rules.pl line 56, near “= ;”
Execution of /usr/local/sbin/add-procmail-rules.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I’ve already fixed several bugs with the “, ”, ‘ and ’ signs which actually should be ” and ‘, but I can’t get the perl file to just run. Is there a way to find out wether plesk is running the handlers by adding a log entry to /var/log/messages?

I’m hoping for some help, as I’m not familiar with perl :)

So I am curious about your Maia Mailguard setup in front of your plesk system. I’m using Plesk 9 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
