There shouldn't be Maildir in there. deliver reads dovecot.conf to figure out where your mails are located.
Sorry for jumping in this thread. I am currently using Dovecot as my IMAP and POP server. I am using Sendmail as my MTA and Procmail as my LDA. Would I gain anything by using Deliver through Procmail like the above example is? My server is just a small home server with very little e-mail traffic.
If you haven' t noticed any performance slowdowns when accessing new mails for the first time, then probably not.
With mboxes it could help. With Maildirs probably not. With v1.1 it helps more than with v1.0.
Thanks for the information. I have one additional question, it is probably not a Dovecot question more of a Procmail question. I tried adding the above code to my /etc/procmailrc file but it did not work. Do I have to put that code in each users .procmailrc file? I would prefer to just put it in on a system wide basis.
My current /etc/procmailrc file has this line:
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
Do I keep that line and put the above Deliver code in? And if so, do I keep the DEFAULT line at the top or after the Deliver code?
Thanks, Jeff
