My problem is moving from procmail to dovecot-lda for local mail delivery so that I can make use of sieve scripts (mainly to implement out-of-office).
operating system is slackware 13.37 32bit
I am starting from a working sendmail with startls for authentication, and dovecot imap working for collecting mail, again with starttls.
I have used sbopkg for dovecot and dovecot-pigeonhole (sieve)
(manually updated the version in the sbo-script to support dovecot 2.1)
procedure below
Quote:
first create needed group and users
groupadd -g 202 dovecot
useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -u 202 -g 202 dovecot
then download,create package and install using sbopkg
cp /usr/doc/dovecot-2.0.12/example-config/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/
cp -r /usr/doc/dovecot-2.0.12/example-config/conf.d /etc/dovecot/
(update slackbuilds to dovecot 2.1 )
to install sieve (server and client) (dovecot-pigeonhole) modify devecot-pigeonhole slackbuild (sbopkg) by updating to version 0.3.3 (the one that supports dovecot 2.1)
then install. then add sieve to the protocols line in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and restart dovecot
/etc/rc.d/rc.dovecot restart

I created a /etc/procmailrc file as follows, to direct mail into directories instead of mbox files
Code:
VERBOSE=on
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
DROPPRIVS=yes
VERBOSE=on
:0
* ^TO.*tim.*
/var/spool/dovecot/tim/
:0
* ^TO.*mary.*
/var/spool/dovecot/mary/
:0
* ^TO.*fred.*
/var/spool/dovecot/fred/
this procedure allowed me to create seive scripts using a thunderbird plugin. (which are duly saved in ~/sieve/ folder), and to have mail sucessfully delivered into mail directories, accessible, and editable via imap
however, local mail is being delivered by procmail, so the filters are not being applied. Thus my attempt to get sendmail to deliver the local mail via dovecot-lda (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver)
unfortunately, the mail does not get delivered when I add the line
Code:
FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver', `deliver -d $u', `SPhun9')dnl
to my config.mc file and recompile
Code:
cd /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf/
./Build config.mc
cp config.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
/etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart
it just seems to dissappear.
manually running
/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d
appears to work ok.
does anyone have any ideas?
