I am using procmail to deliver to a Maildir (which is my courier imap
Inbox) in my home directory. Attempting to deliver directly to the
Inbox results in an error; however, delivery to any folder within the
Inbox works fine.
Take the following file structure:
Inbox: ~/Maildir
Subfolder: ~/Maildir/.Subfolder
Alias Subfolder: ~/Maildir/InboxAlias (soft link to ~/Maildir)
This recipe works:
:0
*
/home/tony/Maildir/.Subfolder/
As does:
:0
*
/home/tony/Maildir/.InboxAlias/
But, this one fails:
:0
*
/home/tony/Maildir/
The error I get when attempting to deliver ~/Maildir is:
procmail: Error while writing to
"/home/tony/Maildir/tmp/1054063005.24550_0.ts/homer.demark.org"
procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file
"/home/tony/Maildir/tmp/1054063005.24550_0.ts/homer.demark.org"
I can't see how it can be a permissions problem since procmail has no
issues delivering to ~/Maildir/.InboxAlias, which is simply a
soft-link to ~/Maildir. The difference appears to be how procmail
handles the tmp file.
So far, the InboxAlias soft link has been a viable workaround (IMAP
clients see new mail in Inbox), but I want to figure out why this is
happening and fix the issue.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
- Tony
