Hello all,

I've a working dovecot installation on my machine, using exim3, virtual users and maildirs.

I would like to add procmailrc rules for these (virtual) users, but i've not succeeded with that. The authentication is done with a passwd-file looking like this : testuser:password:uid:gid::/home/mail/testuser::chroot:maildir:/home/mail/testuser/Maildir/

Well, that's Dovecot's passwd-file which only dovecot-auth reads..

i've put .procmailrc files in /home/mail/testuser/.procmailrc, but it this not taken into account, because the MTA never calls the procmail router as it resides after the dovecot one.

How is the proper way of using procmail with virtual user (and is it at least possible) ?

And procmail has no idea Dovecot even exists. This is anyway procmail's problem, so maybe ask in some procmail list if no-one answers here.
