We are currently running the following configuration (all installed from RPM via apt-get):
~ - postfix-2.1.5-2.4.FC3 ~ - procmail-3.22-14 ~ - dovecot-0.99.11-1.1.fc3.rf
So, all our email is stored in ~/Maildir format. Postfix and dovecot handle this currently just fine. But when I add:
~ mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
to the /etc/postfix/main.cf file, mail seems to go into nowhere. Checking the /var/log/maillog for procmail errors finds entries like:
~ Jan 4 14:34:53 diamond postfix/local[4646]: 18B2E100AA: ~ to=<kevin@xxxxxxxxx>, relay=local, delay=0, status=deferred ~ (Command died with signal 11: "/usr/bin/procmail -t". ~ Command output: procmail: Couldn't create "/var/mail/kevin" )
This is because mail is not stored in mbox format but instead in maildir format in the users home directory.
I can run procmail for an individual user by removing the mailbox_command line from the postfix configuration, and allowing the default postfix local command to act as LDA. Then by editing the .forward file and adding:
~ "|/usr/bin/procmail -t"
I can then create the following .procmailrc file in my home directory: - ----- SHELL=/bin/sh PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail LOGFILE=$PMDIR/pmlog MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.subscriptions INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.spam - -----
My rules files are then created in the ~/Procmail directory.
What I want is to configure this by the system, not user by user. Is there a Fedora package that is configured to run with maildirs. The documentation on this package says to simply set DEFAULT in the .procmailrc file, but this does not work. I would prefer to not compile myself since all other software is installed from rpm.
Thanks in advance.
