Re: create nested maildirs as needed before creating a lock file?

Hello Harald Dunkel,

Am 2010-12-16 22:25:08, hacktest Du folgendes herunter:
Actually a user is not allowed to login on the imap server to
create folders. It is already pretty painful to mount all the
users' home directories just to give procmail acess to the
.procmailrc files.

Where is the proble to create a directory where you put all the  promail
files and name them by the USER_NAME?

Then in the /etc/procmailrc you setup TRAP which change  the  permission
of the wrtten file to the USER_NAME.

I do this to ad have /etc/procmail_users/ and I use  INCLUDERC  to  read
the users procmailrc.  This works on my VServers with several 1000 users

All I am asking for is some code in procmail to create
missing nested maildirs before the lockfile is created.
AFAICS the current procmail can create flat maildirs, but
this seems to be broken for using lockfiles.

WHY do you use LOCK with MAILDIRS?

It makes no sense

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
