Well i do recall somewhere in a qmail documentation that explicitly said Mailbox's on NFS drives is evil evil pure evil. I could be wrong but that's my opinion. > If there is another lmtpd to simply accept the mail and then > call procmail on it, I'd take that. Well master starts up the lmtpd listening process so you would probobly need to modify the lmtpd source and procmail. Because procmail would need to know how to deliver the mail properly. I am afraid that i would /think/ that if you had procmail + deliver for example on 1 piece of email. That you would either duplicate it either in a bsd mbox and in cyrus, or both in cyrus. > All I really want is: > a) postfix on the SMTP side to replace sendmail Easy enough. > b) cyrus IMAPD for the users' mailbox access Makes sense, but no local access because cyrus doesnt support that. the mailbox partition is secured remember? > c) these on different machines Now your getting silly. > d) procmail support for user's existing .procmailrc Look into sieve, i read a message that said they use procmail + cyrus. But quite plainly he didnt explain it too well how. > I'm not tied to cyrus's lmtpd, but I thought that's what it's there > for?

It seems like you are trying for a bigger picture of the apple then you need. Why do you want to have these multiple machines with NFS connecting the Cyrus mailbox partition? > Thanks :-) I have to ask a very specific question here, you realize that Cyrus is not the Maildir specific, nor is it the BSD Mailbox it is a unique setup. If you want to have multiple machines handling the email i might suggest looking into the Cyrus Aggregator: Murder IE 2 Proxy IMAP servers, 2 Backend that actually hold the data, 1 Master server containing all the login/pw information. It seems that might be up your alley but your messages are very confusing to me. So i'm doing what i can.
