What must be done to make sendmail do its thing for deliver?
I use Dovecot in conjunction with Sendmail with Maildirs as the mail store and it works fine. We use "procmail" as the local delivery agent though.
Stuff in the sendmail config file:
define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH', `/ifm/bin/procmail') FEATURE(local_procmail)Users mail store is mounted as /home/$USER/Maildir and with an procmail config file (/etc/procmailrc) like this:
# procmailrc PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/I should some day investigate on how to use Dovecots own local delivery agent...

Peter,
You have no idea how much I appreciate this posting. I installed procmail last night, but couldn't find any reliable information on how to integrate it into my sendmail system. This is most helpful. Just out of curiosity, would you know how difficult it would be to configure for mbox? I noticed that this seems to be what FreeBSD defaults to and I'd like to minimize my own heartache when getting procmail setup.
Thanks again, Andy
