I think(!) you can use fetchmail+dovecot without either knowing about the other. fetchmail does deliveries to your maildir, dovecot will pick up the changes, although delayed.
That's what I'm doing. Fetchmail uses procmail to run through spamassassin and procmail plonks it into the mailbox.
I just wondered of procmail should - or could - use dovecot's lda. Perhaps this is really a question for the dovecot list ..
Why would you use another lda when what you have works? (I have something similar... a 'pre-procmail-era script, that does similar, written in perl..., it calls spamassassin on the email 'inline' and sorts spam into a spam folder. -- else it sorts it according to various conditions (i.e. perlregex's on From/To/Subject)....) I tried procmail when it first came out to see if I could replace my script... at the time, procmail wasn't quite as reliable. So stuck w/script .. anytime it's had a prob, it's easier to fix than trying to get a another project to fix something... (course when things break, I can't blame others either...oh well...;-) ). Dovecot pics up the changes to mail folders anytime a client asks for an update. It may use 'inotify' to get notice as soon as mail folder is written to... but TB isn't setup to receive a 'push' from an IMAP server, so it is set to check once a minute. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
