No need for user shell access. Before switching to sieve, I made some email interface where users could turn on 'services' by sending an email to themselves.

Wouldn't it be better if you enabled Sieve and use that instead? procmail needs shell access (or a very sophisticated web-upload thingy to weed out any shell escapes from procmail) to work and a user can easily create loops or break their mail reception completely. Sieve at least makes sure the syntax is correct before installing a ruleset. Grüße, Sven.
