I have one additional question, it is probably not a Dovecot question more of a Procmail question. I tried adding the above code to my /etc/procmailrc file but it did not work. Do I have to put that code in each users .procmailrc file? I would prefer to just put it in on a system wide basis.
My current /etc/procmailrc file has this line: DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ Do I keep that line and put the above Deliver code in? And if so, do I keep the DEFAULT line at the top or after the Deliver code? Thanks, Jeff
