What I want is to configure this by the system, not user by user.
The following is from my /etc/procmailrc file (and it works with postfix, procmail, and dovecot)
With this setup all mails will go into ~/Maildir in maildir format.
Take a look at http://www.sm6rpz.se/mailserver.html for some more information about my setup (at the moment it is a bit dated, i.e. use the procmailscript below)
---- part of /etc/procmailrc begins ---- # # $Id: procmailrc,v 1.6 2004/12/11 11:20:23 root Exp $ #
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # Run with the recipients privileges # DROPPRIVS=yes # ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # Set up so that sendmail/Postfix/etc. deliver to Maildir directories. The # Maildir directory does not have to exist, it will be created if needed. # # Side note: The best thing is actually to add # # #define MAILSPOOLHOME "/Maildir/" # # to the config.h file of the procmail source code, and skip this very # file altogether. But if you do not want to recompile procmail, the # following will do the thing for you (although it may look ugly for those # who prefer to recompile procmail.) #
# To get maildir delivery # DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
# Make sure that $HOME/Maildir/ exist!
#
:0
* ? /usr/bin/test -d $DEFAULT || /bin/mkdir $DEFAULT
{ }
:0 E
{
# Bail out if directory could not be created
EXITCODE=127
HOST=bail.out
}
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------# ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # Change to DEFAULT directory # MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir # ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- part of /etc/procmailrc ends ----
