I think that the crux of the matter here is that as soon as you allow an end-user to run procmail on a so-called "sealed" server, you're basically giving them shell access. A nefarious user might be able to exploit this. (maybe if you ran the whole thing in a chroot jail...) Still, I have to say that I've been using my IMAP+procmail custom setup for a few months now (described here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09038.html). I've even integrated one of the pre-packaged SPAM filters into my setup (SPAM is sent to its own folders -- occasionally I peruse these just to make sure I'm not overlooking anything). I *really* like my setup. Still, I will grant that tools like "sieve" might be attractive to those wishing to run a "sealed" IMAP server. I haven't actually checked out sieve, but I do have to say that I sure do like procmail...it's a tried and tested tool, and I trust it. --kevin -- Kevin D.
