Re: Maildir...

Hummm... I've just recompiled with MAILSPOOLHOME set to /Maildir/.
Default rcfile:         $HOME/.procmailrc
Your system mailbox: /home/caronj/Maildir/ That worked fine. However, nothing gets sorted, still. BTW, I'm sorry if I asked the same question only days later. I had obviously missed Aaron's post/thread (nothing gets sorted, It's hard to follow ANY thread). So, nothing sorted, nothing in the log. What could I possibly be missing ? MAILSPOOLDIR is still set to /var/spool/mail in src/authenticate.c, does that affect anything ? Why does my log file remain empty ? No clue to work with what-so-ever... I find a lot of the stuff I read is kind of vague when it comes to Maildir specifc setup. Jean Aaron Jackson writes:

for a few days trying to figure out this procmail secret.  Kinda
disappointing that it was such a simple change...

This is starting to be a FAQ. Someone just posted the same question a few
days ago.
Try this: Start with a fresh copy of procmail 3.15.1. Edit
src/authenticate.c, uncomment the #define for MAILSPOOLHOME, and change its
value to "/Maildir/". Configure as usual and compile.
 I've never done this myself, but I think that's the correct way to implement
Maildir delivery to home directories.
Hope this helps,
Ed
