This is not a problem with dovecot. It's a procmail issue. Do you realize that this could be a problem in your .procmailrc?

Well it was working for most messages, but not all. I found a cryptic message by googling that implied I should not use the systemwide /etc/procmailrc file to specify delivery to maildir boxes, so I disabled that and put the delivery information into individual .procmailrc files in each user's home directory. That seems to have fixed it. Not very comforting, but it works.

Thanks, Mark
