Thought this might be interest -- might make another useful addition to the
wish list as well.

As discussed in the previous thread about "Dovecot deliver logging 
problem and procmail",
http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-July/014565.html
I have made a small patch for procmail to deliver 
through dovecot's deliver program (or any other delivery program).

So Procmail does not write the mailboxes directly any more. So delivery is 
done through pipes and an external program which can deliver the files.

Since dovecot's deliver program can not handle absolute pathes, theses 
files are handled directly by procmail. See the configuration options 
below for details.

Also INBOX handling needs special handling because this is handled through 
the /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME folder which dovecot deliver can not handle. 
So this is mapped (when configured) to the INBOX folder.
