Hi all, I'm aware this is a bit off-topic, but as far as I can tell there are lots of Postfix users on this list and I thought I should try my luck here before the Postfix lists :)
The setup --------- I am running postfix on my laptop mostly for sending, but also local mail (cron, r2e, etc.), maildrop for sorting/filtering to Maildirs and notmuch for indexing (via a cron job). The problem ----------- Since version 2.7.1-1 (current sid) maildrop does *not* remove the first 'From ' line (also called unix style From_) if present as it did before (see #737383 wontfix for more info) and notmuch complains loudly about it triggering a loop (the warning ends up as output from cron, which creates another message for notmuch to complain about and so on). Things I tried -------------- My preferred solution would be to configure Postfix to do Maildir-style delivery via maildrop, but I have checked the Postfix documentation and done some tests as far as I can tell there is no way to do so. Besides solving this issue it seems I would get rid of the annoying '>From' at start of lines. Pointers much appreciated. I could, of course, work around this in several ways, like use 'home_mailbox = Maildir/' to do the delivery, but then I loose maildrop's sorting/filtering :( Constraints ----------- I'd rather not switch away from procmail/maildrop/notmuch if possible and using some additional filter (reformail -f0 was suggested in #737383) just seems ugly.
