I don't know what "cyrus" is. My 'yum search cyrus' didn't return
anything mail related.
If you want to do simple procmail filtering using postfix, from a stock
Fedora install, you need to first install postfix and disable sendmail:
# yum install postfix
# yum install procmail
# checkconfig sendmail off
# checkconfig postfix on
# service sendmail stop
# service postfix start
Make sure the following line is uncommented in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
Reload Postfix's configuration:
# service postfix reload
Create a file in your home directory called ~/.procmailrc
Here's the start of mine:
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# Environment
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # make sure it exists
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox # completely optional
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log # recommended
LOCKFILE=$MAILDIR/.proclock
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# If things are messed up really badly you can always set
VERBOSE=no
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# SUBJECT's
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
:0
* ^SUBJECT*****SPAM*****
junk
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# FROM's
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
:0
* ^FROM.Norton_AntiVirus
junk
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
# TO's
# ---------------------------------------------------------------
:0
* ^TOowner-
majordomo
Now, for example, mail with *****SPAM***** in the subject will go in
~/mail/junk. Good luck.
