Hi,

I have postfix and dovetail installed and working.  I can send a message
from a remote system to the mail server, and I receive the message as
expected.   My trac installation is at /www/virtualhosts/trac.

I installed email2trac using the Install guide (made an RPM and used yum
https://oss.trac.surfsara.nl/email2trac/wiki/Email2tracInstallation).  No
errors on install - everything looks clean.   My config file is included at
the bottom of this message.


*First question.*

The example *project* option in email2trac.conf shows "/data/trac/jouvin".
  If I put "/www/virtualhosts/trac" I get an error when testing email2trac:

[tmp]# email2trac --project trac < msg.txt
Not a valid project name: trac, valid names are: []
or set parentdir in the [DEFAULT] section


What should I have for *project*?


*Second question.*
I'm a little unclear on setting up Postfix to work with email2trac.

In the mail server documentation there is this hint under Postfix:  "Please
note that postfix seemingly runs commands from the alias definition file as
user "nobody", even if the rest of it is running as user "postfix".  *So
please assure that the MTA_USER is set to nobody, not to postfix!*"

In the Install documentation, I see this:
"*Pay attention to the MTA_USER and TRAC_USER, they are not something you
can ignore! The default are for MTA (postfix) and TRAC_USER (apache2)*"

And that's how I set up configure.in prior to building/installing.

*What should MTA_USER be, if not postfix *(my mail server)*? *



*Third question*
Do you have a working postfix/email2trac install, and if so could you copy
one of your trac alias lines?  I'm not sure what user should go here.

Hello email2trac. I observed a crash with email2trac, which I think happens when no Subject-header is given, although I'm only speculating

This is the standard package from Debian lenny. Not sure which version number that is.

Given a non-spam email, i.e. the X-Spam-Score header is present, but has no value, the script will crash with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/email2trac", line 1137, in ?     tktparser.parse(sys.stdin)
