dovecot - Sep 2005 - Using procmail with virtual users...

Hello all,

I've a working dovecot installation on my machine, using exim3, virtual
users and maildirs.

I would like to add procmailrc rules for these (virtual) users, but i've not
succeeded with that.
The authentication is done with a passwd-file looking like this :
testuser:password:uid:gid::/home/mail/testuser::chroot:maildir:/home/mail/testuser/Maildir/

i've put .procmailrc files in /home/mail/testuser/.procmailrc, but it this
not taken into account, because the MTA never calls the procmail router as
it resides after the dovecot one.

How is the proper way of using procmail with virtual user (and is it at
least possible) ?

Thanks,

--

Well, that's Dovecot's passwd-file which only dovecot-auth reads..

And procmail has no idea Dovecot even exists. This is anyway procmail's
problem, so maybe ask in some procmail list if no-one answers here.
