You seem to misunderstand the whole idea of Cyrus. There is no possiblity for procmail at _ALL_ currently. If you'd like you are more then welcome to use sieve for your .forward and such. Procmail is a DELIVERY method, so is LMTP and so is deliver(8). Currently you cannot hand it off to procmail since procmail does /not/ understand Cyrus's configuration on the messages on how they are delivered, and delivering the same message twice would be stupid (using deliver & procmail). If you use Cyrus you must loose procmail. Sorry no ifs ands or buts. > I want it the other way around: lmtp to accept the incoming local mails > from thepostfix server on the other machine, and then to invoke procmail > for final delivery.. Ok, so you want Postfix to send it to another server via LMTP, yet you want Cyrus to answer the LMTP call and send it to procmail. That makes No sense. > or am I totally off-base here? Yes you are. > thanks Your welcome
