procmail as a content_filter with dovecot
I am using Mac OS X Server. OS X Server uses postfix with dovecot set as mail_transport.
I want to add procmail to the mix. I cannot use the (typical) mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
because mailbox_transport = dovecot
overrides any mailbox_command parameter and it is NOT Possible to change, remove, or otherwise vary the mailbox_transport on OS X server.
I'm thinking I should be able to set up a content_filter for procmail, but I've found nothing online to tell me if this is possible or how to declare it.
Can anyone help?

dovecot supports sieve, so why the need for procmail ?
but if mta is configured to use procmail then next step is just configure procmailrc to use mda dovecot-lda
Like Benny said: dovecot has sieve, even on OSX:
LMGIFY :) : https://support.apple.com/kb/PH8750 is a bit dated as for Snow Leopard… but here I find something more recent: http://www.markreinmuth.com/2014/07/server-side-mail-rules-in-os-x-server/
I can only recommend to install Roundcube and the managesieve plugin. That will give you a nice webui for editing your filters.

Because I already HAVE procmail recipes and know proemial.
The point is to make what I have, work.

and you can imho learn more with roundcube, that will help you make the power out of sieve, but i know it if one have learned procmailrc its will be staying that way, until one see how simple sieve rules can be
horde webmail can change rules from procmail to sieve, so if server changes from procmail to another filter engine it would just need a new save of rules, since horde saves meta data to rebuild procmail rules, and this metadata can make sieve rules aswell
have fun
Thank you. This may be helpful.

Ciao, Gerhard

Your point here is that you are using Mac OS X. This as you have already learned is overriding your changes with what the guys in Cupertino think is good for you. So I’d rather move on to sieve then fighting my way against this not-so-servery OS. You will get killed on the next OS upgrade I tell you!
Sieve is not bad! And OSX is not a server OS as long as you not switch everything over to macports and leave the Server GUI app behind...
Make your decision :)
