[Imap-uw] FYI: procmail/dmail rule

[Andrew Daviel]

FYI

We run procmail rules for server-side spam filtering, using dmail as the 
delivery agent for MIX format. Generally this works well.

I just realized that for years I've had the wrong rule.
I had
  :0
  |dmail
as the final rule to deliver to INBOX, but it should have been
  :0 w
  |dmail

If dmail failed, the mail was lost instead of being bounced or requeued.
As I found out when I fixed up a user's mailbox as root, leaving a 
.mixnnn file with the wrong ownership. Duh.


(still somewhat shocked by Mark's dismissal ... I hope imapd
can continue as an open source project. To say nothing of Mark's work 
with the IETF developing the imap standard, and the ongoing standards 
work for mobile devices)
