Hi all. I have been playing around with getting maildirs to work (under RedHat 6.2) I have a patched imap server courtesy of http://www.davideous.com/ David's setup patches imap to use maildirs in the users home directory. IMAP will look for new mail in ~/Maildir I have a conversion script that will create maildir compatible directories form old style mbox files. OK, all is working OK on the IMAP side of things. (much better than the standard imap setup) large mailbox's are no longer a problem. I have given up trying to get users to delete old messages, and have resigned myself to trying to accomodate the rather idiotic habit of people having 60 Meg+ inbox's. I will look at putting some sort of quota or reporting system on them later. My question is in the mail delivery side of things. I have a patched procmail that will deliver to maildirs, thus I do not need to rip out sendmail (yes I know , it probably is the time to learn qmail). With maildirs, I notice there are three subdirectories created in the maildir: tmp, new, cur I take it, procmail needs to deliver into the "new" directory. Are there any traps / tricks with this structure? There is also a file called .uidvalidity In a more general sense, I use procmail myself to sort incoming messages into folders. Those of you who use maildirs or qmail, how do you accomplish this? do you use a special procmail? Any suggestions or personal experiences would help me to know I am on the right track. t.i.a Ian -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
