Hi all,
I'm using Debian (testing) for my office mail. I'm using sendmail and Dovecot to deliver email to clients over IMAP using mbox format. I want to move over and start using Maildir. I know that I can use
different MTA's to do the job, but I really like sendmail, and I run
additional sendmail servers across the my internal and external
networks. I'm probably being anal, but I want to keep my MTA the same across the board. Does anyone here use sendmail + dovecot + maildir? if so what's the best way of going about this?Gabe
Gabe,
basically, the local delivery agent (LDA) is responsible for which format the mail is delivered in.
a typical Sendmail LDA is procmail and with newer versions of procmail you can deliver in Maildir format by putting a / at the end of the delivery directory.
check the man pages for procmail for more details.
