Hi, dear procmail-users,


does anybody know how to configure procmail in this way, that E-Mail
fetched by fetchmail, from a provider  under a
single E-Mail-Address can be distributed to several users on a local
network having an imap-Server (Cyrus).

As long as you have procmail set  up between your MTA (I use sendmail)
and deliver, it's  just a matter of creating the  proper recipe. Seems
you could easily set up a kind of mailing list for this.

e.g. <duffy duck>    remote(_at_)remotehost(_dot_)de   should be transfered to
user.duffy
     <trick duck>    remote(_at_)remotehost(_dot_)de                          
user.trick
     <dagobert duck> remote(_at_)remotehost(_dot_)de                          
user.dagobert

Has anybody an idea how one can ascertain, that a distinguishing filter
criteria for a distinct user always is fullfilled?

Set VERBOSE=yes and look at the logfile?

For ideas how to  get the first part working -  if you haven't already
got it, look in the archives for the cyrus-imapd mailing list (I don't
have the address  offhand). Most of my posts here  over the last month
have dealt with just that.

HTH
