I have a setup running where the MTA hands all mails over to procmail
which itself gives them to cyrus' deliver after filtering them.
In most MTAs you can specify which file it parses first for recipes
(if you don't, it'll expect /etc/procmailrc).
I chose /etc/procmail.d/globalrc. There, with
## Where to place our logfiles
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail/$LOGNAME.log
I gave every user his own log. Then, for each user a recipe file
within /etc/procmail.d/ will be parsed via
## Include central sited user-specific recipes
:0
{
INCLUDERC=/etc/procmail.d/rc.$LOGNAME
}
After that, (still in globalrc) a "fallthrough" will be met that
hands the mail over to cyrus with
## Gone through it up to here? Then deliver It!
:0 w :$LOGNAME.deliverlock
| /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -a $LOGNAME $LOGNAME
Note that you have to preauth with -a as procmail won't run as the
respective user. See procmailrc(5), procmailex(5) and deliver(8).
