mail not owned by the user? Are you SURE you are delivering
correctly? I know lots of people using procmail+dovecot.
Dovecot does NOT require anything other than the default permissions:
/home = 755
/home/user2 = 700
/home/user2/Maildir = 700
Dovecot is working just fine. PROCMAIL only delivers to the
directory I
specify in the rules when the entire home tree is set chmod 777. If a
message matches no rules, then delivery is handled as expected with
normal
directory permissions.
Then there is something very wrong with your compile of procmail as
procmail requires no such thing. Is procmail running *as the user*?
Mine look like that, too (Dovecot-style)(but not the procmail-
delivered
ones, as noted in my 'long note'). I just want the mail that matches a
procmail rule to go to the user's primary mailbox, into the IMAP 'new'
directory, just like all of the other mail.
procmail -v is NOT proof that procmail is not expanding the variable.
a .procmailrc that says
LOG=$HOME/test.log
VERBOSE=ON
COMSAT=YES
:0
$DEFAULT
Showing the mail being delivered somewhere other than $HOME/Maildir
would show that procmail is not properly expanding the $HOME.
I am not using local user .procmailrc files, just the global
/etc/procmailrc file, as noted in my 'long note'. But, I appreciate
your
point.
And what user is running that? If that is not being run by root, then
DROPPRIVS won't work correctly.
I can accept that. Please tell me which logs would be useful to the
group?
Well, I was referring to the test.log from my .procmailrc, but since
you are not using .procmailrc filess, you'd need to log from the
procmailrc file itself.
