I have one box, a 3.x box, that has a problem finding procmailrc files. For instance, if I have a .procmailrc file in /var/www/user/homes/username it finds it and it works. If I have a .procmailrc file under /var/www/user it doesn't. Where the heck is the setting for where procmail looks for user procmailrc files? Thanks, John Hinton

Hi all, I recently migrated my system (postfix/Dovecot)from mbox to Maildir. Almost everything is working (phone and thunderbird show all my mail and folders with mail) However I am stuck on my .procmailrc rules # cat /etc/procmailrc SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail SENDMAILFLAGS=-oi LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log ORGMAIL=${HOME}/Maildir/ DEFAULT=${ORGMAIL} MAILDIR=${HOME}/Maildir/ DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $LOGNAME" # next line is to support user...

...ith mbox so that I had a functioning system once again. I am about to have some time on my hands and am going to try again - but this time I thought I would ask for help before I possibly loose my ability to receive new mail - makes reading those suggestions very hard. At present, my etc/procmailrc file is like this. ----------- [dan at trailrunner etc]$ cat procmailrc # send mail through SpamAssassin :0 fw * < 256000 | /usr/bin/spamc -f ----------- In each users Home directory I have a .procmailrc file that further directs things on a user level.

What is the trick to get Postfix's local command to pipe mail through procmail? I have: -bash-4.1$ grep allow_mail_to_commands /etc/postfix/main.cf allow_mail_to_commands = alias, forward and -bash-4.1$ cat .forward |/usr/bin/procmail and a .procmailrc file: -bash-4.1$ cat .procmailrc PATH=/usr/bsd:/bin:/usr/bin:/exp/rcf/share/bin MAILDIR=/var/lib/amanda/Mail #you'd better make sure it exists DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL #completely optional LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from #recommended :0 * ^From.*no-reply at sns.amazonaws.com |$HOME/retrieveArchive.tc...

All, Not sure what to do next. Have imap working in that I can see messages in inbox. When I create a folder it won't create one. Looking at maillog shows that I don't have rights to folder /var/spool/mail/.sent or whatever folder I am trying to create. I have procmailrc and dovecot.conf point to /home/Maildir but for some reason something is tied to /var/spool/mail. Of course I am running FC3 and sendmail. Someone have any ideas as to what to try next? thanks in advance, Steve Hickel -- Steve Hickel <steve at korehicom.com> Kore/HiCom Corporation --------...

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, bu...

Does anyone have a handy example or howto pointer for the matching config changes needed to make sendmail/procmail deliver in maildir format in home directories and for dovecot to access it there? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hi, I have site w. around 7000 users, most of which have some procmail rules (theres even .procmailrc in /etc/skel with rule to put spam into spam folder). Afaik dovecot's deliver doesnt understand procmail rules, so i'd like to ask if its possible to configure procmail so it saves mail using deliver, without modifying users .procmailrc Thanks for any pointers, Vaclav Hula

Hi, I am using dovecot 2.0.16, and assigend globally procmailrc (/etc/procmailrc) which delivers mails to user's home directory in maildir formate.

...ostfix for my mail server, then pass that on to procmail for filtering, and finally to deliver to put the mail in the appropriate Maildir folder. However, this isn't working. Postfix passes the mail to procmail correctly, but procmail is failing when it tries to call deliver. My system-wide procmailrc matches the lower one shown here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail?highlight=%28procmail%29 which uses deliver.

I became suspicious that I should have received a certain message, and reading pm.log I discovered that it had indeed arrived and had been allocated to /var/mail/anne, despite procmailrc telling it that MAILDIR=/home/anne/Maildir/ Any idea what might have caused this? It seems to have been working like this only in the last 24 hours or so.

...read the man pages and such, but I need a little bit more help getting this specific task to work right. Basically, I want to mirror home directory structures, and only two files within each home directory, to other machines from a central server. Those files are ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs and ~/.procmailrc. Other files should not be transfered, so I'm looking for some sort of wildcard statement to do that. If I just put a * in there, nothing transfers. If I want to transfer other files at a later date, I'll add them into the file with +'s. I would like to not have to specify each filena...
