[SLE] Procmail into maildir format?
Hello. I have use for some mailstorage without locking problems, and MH and Maildir seems like the only two real options, and of these Maildir looks like the best option. I have tried getting Procmail from SuSE Linux 6.4 to do deliveries to maildir folders, but have not succeeded - it seems to handle the maildir folder like MH instead. Is this not supposed to work, or am I doing something wrong (probably the last one here... ;-) ? I receive mail with Postfix, and use Procmail 3.13.1 from SuSE Linux 6.4 as local delivery agent (I have also tried Procmail 3.14 without luck). Does anyone have any pointers to how I can do maildir-deliveries then? (I have Procmail running as delivery agent already, so that is not my problem). Here is a copy of my .procmailrc (only the relevant parts - how I sort the ~30 mailinglists I'm on are probably not relevant): -START- PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/pm.log :0: * ^Subject:.*pm-test maildirtest -STOP- Here is what I see in the pm.log file when I send a test-message to trigger the procmail-rule:

Last time I checked (a few months ago), procmail couldn't handle maildirs. Don't know if this has changed, though. If you don't get it to run, try maildrop instead. Besides handling maildirs properly it has human readable configuration files and, unlike procmail, it won't loose mail if the configuration is faulty.
