Procmail saving spam as .maildir

mfaine · n00b Joined: 08 Nov 2002 Posts: 58

It seems no matter what I do procmail wants to keep messages caught as spam as $HOME/.maildir I haven't set this anywhere and my $MAILDIR is $HOME/Maildir/

everything else seems to be working with the setup as far as I can tell but for some strange reason if a message is caught it is appended to the file $HOME/.maildir. I would like to change this or eliminate it all together.

Any help would be appreciated.

How are you filtering spam? Spamassassin or just procmail configs?

So you have -maildir and mbox set in your USE flags?

If I understand correctly, if you do not implicitly add -maildir (note the minus symbol) all your mta's etc. will be built using .maildir functionality.

I tend to turn it off:
USE="[all your flags] -maildir mbox"

I do think you'll need to rebuild your mta's (postfix etc.) unless postfix is told not to use maildir in main.cf
