dovecot - May 2006 - dovecot, procmail, postfix & SpamAssassin working together

Hi there, i'm trying to get dovecot, procmail, postfix & SpamAssassin
working together

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=441062

But i'm not having a lot of luck, a question about dovecot, what kind of
mail box am i using? mbox? if so does anyone know if procmail can use mbox?

/etc/dovecot.conf

protocols = imap pop3
imap_listen = [::]
pop3_listen = [::]
imaps_listen pop3s_listen log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
login = imap
login = pop3
default_mail_env = mbox:/home/CATHEDRAL/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
auth = default
auth_mechanisms = plain
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root

Yes, procmail can cope with mbox.
 From the procmail error, I'd consider what user procmail is running as 
and the permissions on /var/spool/mail/tmp/. Perhaps removing DROPPRIVS 
or changing the permissions. However, I haven't use procmail much so 
proceed with caution and thought. I use dovecot's own LDA and sieve for 
the filtering. It works nicely for me. http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
