But notice that I have to use a different user for imap. My default user has a existing mbox structure under /home/user, while imapd is serving /var/spool/mail/user, which is where postfix delivers it.
Eh? Then something is wrong. Or perhaps not "wrong" wrong, but not configured properly. I have a mounted file system on /home/anton/Mail and the postfix/procmail makes use of the hierarchy of folders there. As I see my setup working, a loot of the trickery is in the configuration of procmail. That is where MBOX and stuff and stuff is defined. Many procmail rules deliver to $DEFAULT, which is the basic mbox. The spamassassin part of the procmail rules set delivers to $JUNKBOX/isSPAM or $JUNKBOX/probablySPAM If course there is a blacklist and whitelist filter :-)
The /home/user/Mail structure is already delivered, can't be delivered again or I would have the mail loop you mentioned.
I must admit I don't see why it needs "delivering" again.
So I'm sending it to another user on the same machine (carlos) an pull it via imap from the normal user (cer).
I think part of your problem may be in your mail reader. I am, of course, using Thunderbird, and one of the capabilities it has is telling the IMAP server where to go. Under "Advanced Account Setting" for the server you can tell the IMAP server what directory to use and what namespaces to use. I point it to the appropriate place in /home/anton/Mail I'm sure there are a few things I've forgotten here ... Oh, right. Yes.... When I'm off-site I have a SSH tunnel from my laptop though the firewall to the mail hub where all the above resides. Actually its two tunnels, one for the IMAP and one or the SMTP. There's a slightly different config in Thunderbird for when that's being used. The IMAP server appears to be on port 4500 because of the ssh tunnel and the smtp server appears to be on port 4525. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
