[Dovecot] deliver rewrites envelop-sender

[Ralf Becker]

Hello Gerhard,

thanks for the fast reply.

I've patched procmail (it's working great) and for now, I'm using this
configuration:

/etc/procmailrc
---------------
DELIVER_INBOX=yes
DELIVER_REPLACE_INBOX_NAME=yes
DELIVER_NEW_INBOX_NAME=INBOX
DELIVER_ABSOLUTE_PATH=yes
DELIVER_PIPE_NO_LOCK=yes
DELIVER_RAW_MODE=yes
DELIVER_REMOVE_FROM=yes
DELIVER_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/deliver -m \$BOXNAME -f \$ENVELOP_SENDER -d
\$RECIPIENT"

:0
* ^From \/[^ ]*
{
        ENVELOP_SENDER=$MATCH
}
ENVELOP_SENDER=${ENVELOP_SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON at fh-trier.de}

.procmailrc
-----------
:0
* ^X\-RFT\-FORWARD: beckerr at fh\-trier\.de -> XXXX at YYY\.de
{
        DELIVER_PROGRAM
        :0
        /dev/null
}
:0 Ec
| formail -I 'X-RFT-FORWARD: beckerr at fh-trier.de -> XXXX at YYY.de' -s
/usr/lib/sendmail -i XXXX at YYY.de


As you see I have to unset DELIVER_PROGRAM to discard looping messages
by sending them to /dev/null. This is a little bit unhandy, because
other users have to alter their .procmailrc too.

What do you think about defining an environment variable like
	DELIVER_SKIP_PATH=/dev:/tmp
to set a number of paths for which (dovecot-)deliver is skipped and
instead procmail is used to save the mail.

Regards, Ralf
