Hi, I have just switched to Maildir, and I have noticed something. Even though it works properly, I have noticed that a file named /var/mail/user with 0 bytes length is still created. Is this normal? I use sendmail+procmail+dovecot. I have also tried the combined procmail+deliver approach with the same results. I also use a global /etc/procmailrc. Thank you

It stopped being a problem for me anyway because I changed some config in my MTA (Exim4) for another reason which happened to mean that Procmail was no longer invoked in most cases. But I think it may be fixable in the Procmail space. What is in your /etc/procmailrc ? Bill
