I try to do all my filtering server side.  Sieve is supported by the webmail
package I use (horde and imp, from horde.org) so a user can add rules once they
log in to webmail.  These rules are stored server side so they persist when a
user uses their email package.  kmail and other clients also support sieve but
I have not yet secured the service, user creditials would thus be in the clear,
which is bad.

Procmail is an oldie but a goldie, I had used it for years until switching to
sieve.  There is also a web frontend called smartsieve, but I found the horde
module to be the best IMO for managing the rules.

Cheers,

Quoting Shawn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Thanks Gustin. I'm just trying to get server side filtering working, and when
I did a search, Procmail was the one that came up most often.  I was
concerned about some of the dated material though...  I'll take a look at
sieve too though - maybe this will be easier to get going.. :)

I'm using Cyrus from my IMAP server, and vpopmail to manage virtual
domains/users.

My info is a bit rusty since I ditched procmail over a year ago in favour
of sieve.  I also moved my backend into cyrus (so I no longer have my
procmail recipes and configs users entries in /home no longer exist,
everything is now handled by cyrus including quota management,
authentication is backended into LDAP).

Having said that I seem to remember my mail sorting scripts residing in
.procmail in my users' home dir.

The error indicates that the IMAP daemon is looking for an IMAP
resource called
INBOX.procmailrc instead of just INBOX.  Not sure why it is looking for
INBOX.procmailrc

What are you using for your IMAP daemon?
