All the different parts of a courier mail system are completely
independent.  If you wanted to replace procmail with maildrop, you could
do just that.  It looks like the package is called 'maildrop' instead of
'courier-maildrop'.  Just change the mailbox_command in postfix from
procmail to maildrop.

When I looked at maildrop, the syntax of the config file looked much
easier.  It might be a little more versatile, too, although I haven't
played around with either enough to say with any authority.  The area
where it fell down for us, which probably won't be an issue for a home
user, is that it does not support quotas.

[gentoo-user] Changing mail servers

[Dhruba Bandopadhyay]

Hello,

At the moment I am using courier-imap, postfix and procmail.  However,
procmail just ain't working and this means that I'm getting thousands of
emails (from all gentoo ML's) into my inbox rather than folders.  I've
tried a billion different combinations and not once has it made the
slightest bit of difference.

So I thought to myself why not go for a change?  My thought was to unmerge
courier-imap and emerge courier so that I get an all in one package and
can use courier specific utilities for smtp and mail filtering
(maildrop?).  Does that sound reasonable?  What are my other alternatives?

Have you used the courier suite of mail applications and are you happy
with it for all purposes?

Feedback much appreciated.
Dhruba Bandopadhyay.
