Hi Michael,
thanks a lot for your answer. I tried it. But unfortunately for some
reason
it doesn't work. It can't write to imap-mailboxes though they exist.
With this mail I include
the last part of the procmail-log together wit the general procmailrc
and a special .procmailrc.
Maybe there should be done some more configuration in the sendmail.cf.
Connection by the mail server in this way are only accepted if the
imap-user also exists as regular user on the system.
The sendmail-configuration didn't cause any problems. But with procmail
it would be possible to distribute e-mails fetched from a provider and
destinated for different users on the systems to different imap-boxes.
I would be grateful if I could find a solution to that problem.
Besides that it is funny that you have the same last name Weber. But
probably 'Weber' in Germany is almost as abundant
as Mueller, Maier, Schulze. ;)
Greetings Bernd
P.S. In my precedent mail I forgot the appendix

This is in procmail.common

You need to have Procmail call Delivermail and then this will put the
message in the users inbox. Subdirectories are called as:
| $DELIVERMAIL -e -a $CYUSER -m user.$CYUSER.Procmail
Procmail _IS_ case sensitive for your folders. Also I have not been able to
have spaces in my folder names, so I would not recomment it. I either make
folders one word, or use "_" between words. I hope that this helps. Let me
know if you need any more help.

P.S. Nice last name. ;)

Subject: sendmail->procmail->imap
Dear procmail-users,
I managed to configure sendmail invoking procmail and set up an
/etc/procmailrc file. I just want to send Mail only to the IMAP-Boxes.
But unfortanetely when I send a mail for a user only existing as
imap-user, the mail-server refuses connections. The other e-Mails aren't
delivered correctly either.
Has anybody an idea how to setup sendmail->procmail->imap in a way only
regarding imap users and not users having a full account.
I would be very glad to get an answer.
Bernd

# We define DELIVERTO just to prevent a lot of extra

# repetitive typing, as it's the same action for every user.
# This assumes we set up a SPAM folder right off the INBOX
# for every user on the system. If we neglect to do that, we'll
# get in a bit of trouble.

# This file includes the appropriate procmail.$LOGNAME
# file so that each user has his or her own recipe techniques
# for subscribed lists, e-mail alerts, etc.
# Before we begin any recipes, let's make a backup
# copy of any incoming mail.
#
# Remember to comment out the next recipe once
# you know everything is working fine, otherwise
# you'll fill up the backup directory very quickly.
# Some procmail tutorials demonstrate how you can
# set a quota on the backup directory so that you can
# leave it in force at all times.
