The best bet is to get rid of procmail and to replace it by maildrop. I think I've worked around the procmail issue for now (see my msg to Odhiambo), but maildrop looks interesting. I've downloaded and installed it, but I still have to learn how to write filters and how to write the main configuration file (/etc/maildroprc) before I can test it. If you have any samples, including a vacation recipe, I'd love to see them. Thanks,

The vacation recipe is in the docs, check the maildropex manual page.

Just a short snippet to detour the dovecot list messages into the "dovecot" Maildir++ folder (includes administrivia):

if (/^List-ID:.*/) to "Maildir/.dovecot/"

Thanks. I'll study it a bit more and then test it. I get the impression that maildrop is being maintained more actively than procmail so changing now (before my new dovecot server goes into production) might be a good idea. Mark
