Subject: Postfix configuration: omitted points




I forgot to mention I have a pppoe connection... the dialup setup is
different. This part of the postfix FAQ is quite clear, however:

On using procmail with postfix

(again from http://www.postfix.cs.uu.nl/faq.html)

Using Procmail for system-wide local delivery

Warning: if you use procmail in this manner, you must set up an alias
for root that forwards mail for root to a real user. See the FAQ entry
titled "Mail for root is delivered to nobody".

    Specify that all mailbox delivery is to be done by procmail. For example:

        /etc/postfix/main.cf:
            mailbox_command = /path/to/procmail

        /etc/postfix/main.cf:
            mailbox_command = /path/to/procmail -a $EXTENSION

If you can, avoid using any shell meta characters or built-ins such as
$ or " or IFS or &&, because they force Postfix to run an expensive
shell process. However, procmail is a pig, and the gain of avoiding a
shell can be unnoticeable.

Execute the command postfix reload to make the changes effective.
