Please be more specific: What version of sendmail? What version of IMAP server? Which delivery method: direct via deliver(8), filtered through some procmail(1) mechanism or sent by LMTP (without deliver)? Please give the appropriate snippet of your sendmail.mc that corres- ponds to IMAP server delivery as well. (Hint: you may also try this question on sendmail mailling lists, they know a lot more about .mc-file configuration) Regards, - Birger
