Re: Postfix and Procmail setup
Thanks Juhan, your advice was important, now I have to write my .procmailrc file a bit better, but it works! I hope to tune it correctly tonight..:) Thk again Lorenzo Il dom, 2004-03-14 alle 13:06, Juhan Kundla ha scritto: Hei!

Re: Postfix and Procmail setup
Incoming from Lorenzo Rossi: I would like to change my way to read e-mails. Now I read e-mail using: FETCHMAIL to get e-mail from my ISP, it pass them to POSTFIX, and I read them using EVOLUTION. I would like to use PROCMAIL to store e-mail in different boxs, and then read e-mails with pine. The problem is: I do not know if I need to change postfix configuration to use procmail, and I do not know how to configure procmail..:( In my main.cf Postfix configuration file, is present the line below: mailbox_command = procmail -a $EXTENSION It's usually simply a matter of making sure your ~/.forward file contains something magical. See man procmail; it will tell you what you need for it to work with Postfix. Then, you may need to fiddle with a ~/.procmailrc to tell it where procmail should put things (there's also man procmailex (for examples) and man procmailrc (for help in configuration details)), and finally you'll need to tell your email client where to find mail and in which format (mbox vs. maildir) to find it. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
