Normally procmail is called from the MTA, e.g. Postfix. If you use Postfix disable this line in /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" Look at /var/log/mail.log for more information. > Then the next script seems to only try whats in my home dir, and of course > doesn't find it as neither exists, yet... > > I assume that is because dovecot needs a kill -HUP.

But what you can do is a "service dovecot restart" as root. I think your questions are more MTA questions then Dovecot questions.
