maildrop problems

Hi all,
I'm using maildrop to filter my messages server side in to folders. I had been filter a list based on teh Reply-To header, since I know that is always the same. This worked fine until some time yesterday, then it just stopped working. Every message I receive gets dumped in to my inbox. To my knoledge, I haven't done anything that would have caused this. Does anyone have any hints? I'm using maildrop-1.6.2 with qmail-1.03 as the MTA.

I am using maildrop and qmail as well. Are you running maildrop system
wide, or on a per user basis? If you are running on a per user basis,
does your .qmail file contain:

|preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop

Does your .qmail file have correct group/owner and permissions?

-rw-r--r--    1 greg     users          33 Jun  8 16:53 .qmail

Is everything in your .mailfilter file as you expect, and does that
have correct permissions?

-rw-------    1 greg     users         695 Sep 16 10:14 .mailfilter

Do you see any unusual messages in /var/log/maillog?

Greg

This wouldn't be relevant to any other lists your on, but the speakup list
and any other lists hosted on speech.braille.uwo.ca would be affected
because the list server software was upgraded and as a result, the contents
of some header fields were changed.  I had speakup filtering into a folder
and it broke for me too (must fix that).

Hope that helps,
Geoff..
