Hey all.
I have been following a bit of the 'Signalled to death by 11' issue a
while back, and near as I can tell, it seems to have been solved in
the latest (2.0.16) release. I have 2.0.16 installed on FreeBSD
4.3-release, and I would still like to use procmail for filtering. I
know about sieve, but I'm a bit set in my ways here.
Anyway, I don't care if I still have to pipe things thru every other
link in the chain from sendmail thru to the imap server, but I just
want to squeeze procmail in there somewhere. Of course, I don't just
want to dump everything into the pot and stir. I'd like to take a
more cautious and methodical approach.
Any recommendations as to how this should be done?
With 1.6.24, I simply changed the Cyrus mailer args so that sendmail
would dump the message to procmail, which would then pipe the filtered
message thru to deliver.
I notice deliver is still there, but it doesn't seem to be used in the
current chain of command.
Is deliver being phased out, kept up, or what?
I noticed that the sendmail definition for the cyrus mailer pipes the
message directly into a unix socket at /var/imap/socket/lmtp, does
deliver do the same thing? If so, this could be as easy as it was in
1.6.24.
I also notice that it is still possible to build cyrus without sieve -
although the maintainer of the FreeBSD port hasn't taken this into
account. I haven't bothered to do this yet, but I'd like to. Any
caveats?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Lou
