You have no idea how much I appreciate this posting. I installed procmail last night, but couldn't find any reliable information on how to integrate it into my sendmail system. This is most helpful. Just out of curiosity, would you know how difficult it would be to configure for mbox? I noticed that this seems to be what FreeBSD defaults to and I'd like to minimize my own heartache when getting procmail setup.
a trailing slash means maildir ('/foo/bar/'). no trailing slash means mbox ('/foo/bar').
That said, FreeBSD or others don't care what format you use. the system will stay happy even if you use maildir :) so reconsider your position and take the time to check which format you should use. I say this because moving from one format to another will be harder once you have a lot of mail to convert (it's still feasible, but...).
