This is part of my getmailrc

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
user = ebal
group = mail
arguments = ( '-d', 'ebal' )

i use getmail + dovecot + sieve + spamassassin [filter getmail]
at all of my accounts.

| Hello list,

| a quick question: can I use Dovecot's LDA "deliver" as a destination in

|
| [destination]

| path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
| arguments = ("-d", "username",)
|
| Or is deliver not supposed to be called this way?

| What I'd like to do is use deliver in the same way I would have used
procmail

to the
| filter sections set up and then puts them in the final destination as
noted

|
| Of course I would like to have deliver honour my .dovecot.sieve sieve
script.
| My first tries have not been very successful, all messages retrieved
in this
| way are put in the top level INBOX, not being sieved.
|
| I also got this error message, but I am not sure how it is related:
|
| Jan 14 16:08:04 localhost deliver(username):
| net_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Permission
denied
|
| Does my user need any special permissions to use the LDA?
|
| TIA!
|

|
| P.S.: Using Dovecot 1.0.5 with the Sieve plugin. I can post the output of
| dovecot -n but I don't think it's necessary?
