Greetings;
Trying to follow along with the wiki2 setup instructions and thought I'd
hit a snag with the first "send me a mail" snippet as it took several
minutes to arrive, so I assume that somehow procmail was involved in the
delivery and my procmail runs mail thought a whole bunch of checks before
finally handing it off to a mailfile as /var/mail/gene.
Then the next script seems to only try whats in my home dir, and of course
doesn't find it as neither exists, yet...
I assume that is because dovecot needs a kill -HUP. But I am not familiar
with that, so how is it done, and as what user, me, or root, on a ubuntu
12.04.2 LTS install?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene

If you use Postfix disable this line in /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" Look at /var/log/mail.log for more information.> Then the next script seems to only try whats in my home dir, and of course > doesn't find it as neither exists, yet... > > I assume that is because dovecot needs a kill -HUP.

But what you can do is a "service dovecot restart" as root. I think your questions are more MTA questions then Dovecot questions.
