You are right, after configuration now procmail is started and piped the message. Unfortunately some loop happen after starting procmail

Hello

You need to activate vnd.dovecot.pipe extention in dovecots sieve. And you need to configure it; i.e. specify where the scripts can be found.

Kind regards, Christian Mack

Thanks that was the reason for the permissions error. Unfortunately the next error comes that isn't explanatory:

You are trying to execute /var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail though...

For me it seems that everything with the permissions is ok. Others also can execute it?

Other suggestions? Is the config correct?

I forgot to mention # dovecot --version 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) On # cat /etc/redhat-release Rocky Linux release 8.6 (Green Obsidian)
