You can try my procmail patch posted on this list,

Er... sorry, but why is a patch needed for this? I was expecting to find just some folder naming rule. Aren't both dovecot and procmail maildir compatible?

Apart from this, running patched software would go against this:

...

I have to do all this sorting with procmail for two reasons:

• I want to have as little sw as possible on that server, and update it semi-automatically, if possible only from the official repositories

and "I want" isn't really correct, I basically "have to", for reasons irrelevant here, make the maintainance of that server as automatic as possible, without installing compilers or using anything else but the local (intranet) mirrors of the official repositories.

So unfortunately this patch isn't for me, not this time at least, but thanks.

Ciao, Marco
