Anyway, I That might just be the case because you set your own mail address as reply address besides the list mail address. If you don't want double mails or at least receiving the mail directly, then please reconfigure your mail client and do not set a reply to address explicitly. > need help to recompile procmail.

The problem would be the IMAP server: it has to know where the INBOX is to find. If you really would store the mail in a non standard path, then you have to tell the IMAP server where that is. Unfortunately you did not say which IMAP server you are using. If it is the uw-imap, then you certainly have to recompile it. Take the src.rpm package and modify the source. Certainly better would be to change, to use dovecot and configure it in the /etc/dovecot.conf. Set the default_mail_env like you want it, i.e. default_mail_env = maildir:/imapMail/%umaildir to use the directory you spoke about in your first mail. Be sure you let Procmail to deliver to the maildir too: MAILDIR=/imapMail/$usermaildir Be aware that uw-imap uses mbox and not maildir by default, unless you change it during compilation time. Please don't blame me if you loose mail! And would you please be so kind to explain why you need such a non standard setup? What do you mean by "each user can access to his own mailbox"?
