Maildir and ORGMAIL

2002-03-11 16:25:55
I get the feeling that I'm missing something obvious, so please bear with me.

I'm in a situation similar to that archived at
www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2001-11/msg00187.html.

I'm running procmail 3.22 on FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE using postfix as my MTA.  I
configured procmail largely as per the Procmail Quick Start on ii.com,
uncommented the "mailbox_command= /usr/local/bin/procmail" line in postfix's
main.cf, and started sending test messages.

Here's the situation: any message sent that matches a rule found in a user's
rc files is placed in the right maildir ($HOME/Maildir), in the right
folder, and in the right format.  According to the log file and to 'ls', any
message that doesn't match a rule is placed in /var/mail/username in mbox
format.

Following the advice in the above link, I tried placing the following in my
/etc/procmailrc:

ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/

This results in the exact same behavior as before.

I've seen it mentioned a few time in random places that I need to compile
with $ORGMAIL set to $HOME/Maildir, but I'm not quite sure how to do this.
Command line?  Makefile?  /src/authenticate.c?

login.conf includes "MAIL=$/Maildir".  procmail -v returns "Your system
mailbox: /var/mail/username".  Thanks for the help.

Evan
