Hi and thanks for the reply.
I give you all information about this problem....
This server now use Postfix as MTA, procmail as MDA, cucipop as POP3 and Cyrus
as IMAP and manage about 800 users and virtual domains (the users are all
authenticated via passwd/shadow file with PAM).
Since this server must manage over 5000 mailbox, i need to upgrade
authentication scheme and create my own passwd database for virtual users.
One real user should own all mailbox, or at least one real user for each domain.
Procmail should delivery to /$VIRTUALHOME/$VIRTUALDOMAIN/$USER/Maildir/, where
$VIRTUALHOME is the base home directory of all the mailbox
$VIRTUALDOMAIN is the home directory that contains all mailbox for that domain.
$USER is the username.
Ex. /homemailbox/domain1.com/josh/Maildir/
If you need more input i'm here.
Bye.

I need to upgrade one of my servers for use Maildir format and virtual users.
My question now is this:
1)How can i implement procmail Maildir default delivery?
Add the line
#define MAILSPOOLSUFFIX "/"
to the config.h file. That'll tell procmail to add a slash to the end
of the mailspool path, which it'll then treat as a request to default
to maildir format for that mailbox.
2)Since i have to implement virtual users, procmail must delivery to
/$VIRTUALHOME/$VIRTUALDOMAIN/$USER/Maildir/.
Is it possible?
Probably, but you'll need to give us more info. What MTA are you using?
Since these are virtual users, they don't have entries in the system
passwd file, correct? So, for any given virtual domain, some _real_
user is going to have to be owning all the mailboxes. Will each
domain have its own user, or will one real user handle all the domain?
Is $VIRTUALHOME the home directory of that user?
