I am trying to force procmail to deliver with the maildir format in
/var/spool/mail with this /etc/procmailrc:
First of all, you must be running procmail version 3.15 or later.
For everyone or just for one or more users? If for everyone, then edit
the src/authenticate.c file and change the MAILSPOOLSUFFIX #define to read
#define MAILSPOOLSUFFIX "/"
then recompile and reinstall procmail.
If just for one or more users, then give them .procmailrc files that say
DEFAULT = $DEFAULT/
and create /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME as a directory that they own with
mode 700.
Even though there is no /var/spool/mail/papy yet, it seems procmail creates
and empty mailbox file and then refuses to deliver to a maildir folder
because (from the log):
procmail: Unable to treat as directory "/var/spool/mail/papy"
Even if I first create a /var/spool/mail/papy directory then it is
renamed to /var/spool/mail/BOGUS.xyz and mail is still delivered to a
papy mbox-type file.
I suspect that either you're not running a new enough version of procmail
or the directory you created didn't have the correct owner and/or mode.
