Hi, I need to manipulate the headers on messages before final delivery. I was going to use a .forward file which named a pipe to a Perl script, but I'm not sure how such scripts would name a folder.
The IMAP users won't have Unix logins on the server. This FAQ answer suggests that putting the IMAP users in /etc/passwd is a prerequesite for using .forward. Is it? Sieve isn't adequate for my mail filtering purposes. I want to (for example) do database access, fiddle with the headers, *and* send it to the right folder. The Perl modules Mail::Audit and Mail::Procmail only deliver to mbox and Maildir formats, so I can't use them. So, when I have an amended mail message and a destination folder, what do I do? Call /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver with my settings? Thanks, Ian -- >From the FAQ: Q: When I enabled Cyrus support in Sendmail, ~/.forward files stopped working. A: Sendmail's Cyrus support comes with support for forward files disabled. If you want .forward files to work, you'll need to add the `w' flag. (This requires users to have accounts on the imap server.) Add a line define(`CYRUS_MAILER_FLAGS',`A5@w') before the MAILER(cyrus) line. The w flag tells sendmail that users are all in /etc/passwd so it's okay to read it and find ~/.forward. If users aren't in /etc/passwd, don't do this.
