My server uses procmail to process mail through spamassassin and then

(cyrdeliver) to work I have to set the sticky bit.  I did an update
recently and it removed the sticky bit on cyrdeliver and therefore mail
began to be delivered to /var/mail.  Procmail also removes the From line
because cyrus doesnt seem to like that.  Now mail is in /var/mail
without the From line and I cannot seem to get the mail from /var/mail
back into the Cyrus database because every program I try to use doesnt
see the mail in that file as actual mail due to the missing From line.
What can I do to get the mail into the users mailboxes?
I have tried to set up pop access to it, it sees it as messed up mail.
I tried to use mutt to see the mail in it.  It sees it is screwed up
mail.  I tried to use formail to readd the From but it only does it on
the top line and not each message in the file.

Thanks in advance,
Caleb

I have asked a handful of questions and most, if not all of the time, I
do not get a response.  Is it because I ask in a rude way?  Do I not
provide enough info?  Are my questions about things that are impossible
or too difficult?

Or we're just lazy sometimes.  ;)

You can probably use the uw-imap -> cyrus migration scripts I wrote to handle this problem. They use a combination of formail and some perl to get it right. Check it out on the cyrus wiki at:

  http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/MboxCyrusMigration

You'll need to take a close look at those to make sure you don't overwrite existing cyrus messages. The scripts assuming they can start numbering at 1.
