RE: procmail and virtual mail accounts

* Giff Hammar <ghammar(_at_)sv-phoenix(_dot_)com> [02-28-07 22:27]:
I have a web site at a hosting service and have set up several mail
addresses. I want to be able to send an e-mail to a specific address in my
domain and have procmail process the mail.

I have tried putting the .procmailrc file at several different levels in
the
directory structure (/home/domain, /home/domain/mail,
/home/domain/mail/domain.com, /home/domain/mail/domain.com/user), but the
mail always gets delivered to the user inbox. This leads me to believe
that
procmail is not being called for the virtual user name since it doesn't
really exist on the server, at least in the Unix sense.

is your MDA set to deliver mail to procmail?  ie:
  grep procmail /etc/postfix/main.cf
  mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail

I will check with the hosting site. That may be the first thing that I need
to do, then follow some of the other advice from the list. It sounds like it
is somewhat more complicated.
