sendmail and maildir format ???

[Alfred Hovdestad]

First you need a .forward file with something like:

"| /usr/bin/procmail"

You also need a .procmailrc with your procmail rules:

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME
LOGFILE=$HOME/tmp/procmail.log
LOGABSTRACT=yes

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
MyMail/SPAM



You can find other procmail filters with google.


Now if you're using Cyrus IMAP, you need to use sieve to filter your 
incoming mail.
