Ok, this looks to be the problem I am having. If I am understanding
your statement, Larry, deliver will take a mailbox argument as
presented by sendmail, and send the message of to the lmtp socket.
lmtpd will then ignore that mailbox argument? Why?
Here is what I see in some of my logfiles:
procmail.log:
procmail: Executing
"/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver,-q,-m,mediaone,--,leblanc"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -q -m
mediaone -- leblanc"
procmail: Notified comsat: "leblanc@:/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -q
-m mediaone -- leblanc"
Subject: test
Folder: /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -q -m mediaone -- leblanc
903
/var/log/maillog:
Sep 16 16:13:19 canada sendmail[37610]: f8GKDJs37610: from=leblanc,
size=633, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<20010916161318.L36122@localhost>,
bodytype=8BITMIME, relay=leblanc@localhost
Sep 16 16:13:19 canada sendmail[37612]: f8GKDJs37610:

xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=30633, relay=mediaone, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
This looks right to me, but the message winds up in the INBOX. I
can't find any info on lmtpd or the lmtp socket that talks about
delivery to mailboxes using plussed formats. I believe what I am
doing is equivalent to calling
'cat tmp.msg | deliver -q -m mailbox -- userid'
If this is wrong, I'd like to know why.
What do I have to do to keep the functionality intact?
Thanks
Lou
