Well, the error comes from cyrus deliver, not procmail. For some reason
deliver doesn't like the headers. preline puts a From, Return-Path:,
and Delivered-To: header at the top of the message. These are good
things, especially when using procmail to filter messages.
I don't have cyrus's IMAP so you'll have to do some testing on your own
to figure out exactly what deliver doesn't like.
preline has three args (man preline) that turn off these headers. Try
'preline -d' and 'preline -r' and 'preline -dr' and see if one of those
works. If it does, you could use formail (man formail) to strip out the
appropriate header. For instance to get rid of the Return-Path:, put:
|formail -I Return-Path: | /var/imap/qmail_deliver_wrapper $LOCAL
In your .procmailrc. Or, you could add the formail command to the
qmail_deliver_wrapper. Then you could remove the args from preline so
that those variables are available for other procmail recipes.
Hope this helps.
