Hi,
Having moved from 'mbox' to 'Maildir', I'm trying to use a way to move a spam email to the Junk folder
I declared the junk folder as;
namespace inbox {
type = private
disabled = no
ignore_on_failure = no
list = yes
subscriptions = yes
#hidden = no
#inbox = yes
#prefix = INBOX/
mailbox "Drafts" {
auto = subscribe
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox "Junk" {
auto = subscribe
autoexpunge = 12 weeks
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox "Trash" {
auto = no
autoexpunge = 12 weeks
special_use = \Trash
}
mailbox "Sent" {
auto = subscribe
special_use = \Sent
}
and spamassassin, very basic
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
required_hits 5
required_score 5
rewrite_header subject [** SPAM ** ]
add_header all Status _YESNO_, score=_SCORE_ required=_REQD_
tests=_TESTS_ autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_ version=_VERSION_
spf_timeout 60
rewrite_header to [Email could be SPAM ]
fold_headers 0
#defang_mime 0
report_safe 0
and Procmail.. basic and I used what I found on the webpage :
https://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail <https://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail>
DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $LOGNAME"
SHELL="/bin/bash"
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"
LOGFILE="/var/log/procmail.log"
DEFAULT="/var/spool2/mail/%u
:0fw
| /bin/spamc -s any
#######################################
#:0
#* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
#$DEFAULT
#######################################
:0 w
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
| $DELIVER -m Junk
#
## deliver to INBOX and stop
# deliver to INBOX and stop
:0 w
| $DELIVERBut with this config, a spam email, stay into the Inbox :-(
/var/log/procmail.log... doesn't exist
Thanks for you help

Have you looked at 'sieve' and 'pigeonhole' setup? procmail is old old old and completely unsupported.

This is probably old and should be removed or replaced. I have /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf which looks like this:
plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before.d sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve-after sieve_extensions = +spamtest +spamtestplus sieve_spamtest_status_type = score sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-Spamd-Result: default: [[:alnum:]]+ [(-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+) / -?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+\] sieve_spamtest_max_header = X-Spamd-Result: default: [[:alnum:]]+ [-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+ / (-?[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)\] }
And I have spamassissin scoring my mails, this script to move them into 'Junk' as needed:
# more /etc/dovecot/sieve-after/spam-to-folder.sieve require ["fileinto","mailbox"];
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto :create "Junk"; stop; }

John,
There are still a number of people using procmail. Including me for instance. Rather than removing the page perhaps updating the article with a reference to a replacement instead but leaving the procmail documentation in place.

Certainly that's doable, but I don't have any access to that web page for updates, but... I honestly haven't checked either! LOL! Just replying from what I've seen over the years.
I too used to use procmail and it did a great job, but with Dovecot and IMAP, having the integrated sieve protocol setup makes alot of sense to keep down complexity. Even thoguh you now have to learn a new language to filter emails, but it's not that hard.
