Code:
default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir
default_mail_env = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

Then adjust the procmailrc file, or adjust dovecot

Take a look at
http://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail

SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"
LOGFILE="/var/log/procmail.log"

# fallback:
DEFAULT="$HOME/Maildir/"
MAILDIR="$HOME/Maildir/"

did they mean to put procmailrc file in /etc

If you put it in /etc, it will be system wide. You will have 1 conf file for all users.
If you want a seperate procmailrc for every user, put it in the users home directory.

then I couldn't put it in /etc/skel to be copied automatically in every user home directoey when I use "useradd", because I must specify the username here:
Code:
DEFAULT="$HOME/username/Maildir/"
MAILDIR="$HOME/username/Maildir/"
am I right?

still suffering
 
I used this in /home/username/.procmailrc:
Code:

SHELL="/bin/bash"
SENDMAIL="/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t"
LOGFILE="/var/log/procmail.log"
DELIVER="/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver"
# fallback:
DEFAULT="$HOME/%u/Maildir/"
MAILDIR="$HOME/%u/Maildir/"
:0 w
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
| $DELIVER -m spam
:0 w
| $DELIVER
and I used this in dovecot.conf:
Code:
mail_location = mbox:/%h/%u/Maildir:INBOX=/%h/%u/Maildir
there is still nothing working!

WHAT doesn't work?
How do you know?


Look in the logfiles for pointers (LOGFILE="/var/log/procmail.log")
However you need to enable logging
add this to procmailrc
Quote:
VERBOSE = on
Quote:
$HOME equals /home/user/
maildir:~/Maildir =>~/Maildir equals /home/user/Maildir

Start with a simpel procmailrc without the dovecot, and see if that works, then continue from there
