Hi,

I have a prob with procmail while delivering mails into mailboxes.

We have just migrated our mail server from SCO Openserver 5.0 to
RedHat linux 5.2 . We are facing problems in mail delivery. Sometimes
the incoming mails are being clubbed into a single mesg.  Like mail
sent by different people are being displayed as a single mail.

no, actually currently everything is working fine without any problems.
the thing i want to realise as following:

we have around 4500.- email accounts which are all together seperatly on 4
different mashines.

maybe i am not 100 correct but we will realise folling thing:

i have already setup a mysqldatabase with all accounts (passwd unix crypted)

pop3 authentication via qpop and the mysql-qpop0.5 patch works already
fine. so the pop of course is not the problem. 
we can now also authenticate users to the accesserver via the same
database. also authentiacting via mysqlauthmodule (apache) works great to
give the user the ability to change his password in the mysqldatabase.


the question is the delivery agent via sendmail:

how can i setup/modify the sendmail (procmail probably) that he is
checking the presents of users in the mysql-database.

so the thing if that is possible is much more easier to handle disable and
assign users.

is there a way for doing that verification ?

    Your description is way too vague for somebody to be able to help
you.  Messages being "displayed as a single mail" may mean either that

hopefully now better for you to understand :)


(1) your MUA doesn't parse the folder correctly, or
(2) the folder is corrupted (the messages don't have the proper
    separators).


that is not the problem, the problem/question is described on the top.


best wishes
