I think there's some misunderstanding. I want postfix on the SMTP server to accept incoming mails, then use LMTP to forward it to the mailbox (IMAP) server. There I would like to find a way for lmtpd to call procmail for local delivery. If I instruct postfix (not sendmail) to use procmail directly, the procmail recipes have to sit on the SMTP server, which the users don't have individual access to. > > AFAIK you cannot instruct Sendmail to use LMTP _and_ procmail at the same > time.
