Your right, excuses for not looking further. But thanks for clearing 
this in the backends.php example.

I see.  The reason we have the variables is because servers are 
configured differently.  For example, where I work we don't need 
anything in the variables because of how we have procmail configured.   
So, your patch makes assumptions about the environment that aren't 
necessarily true.



The configuration is working as expected.  I added another example to 
backends.php.dist to hopefully clear up some confusion.

And a previous/older working configuration:

$backends['procmail'] = array(

     'driver' => 'vfs',

     'preferred' => '',

     'hordeauth' => 'full',

     'params' => array(

         // Hostname of the VFS server

         'hostspec' => 'localhost',

         // Name of the procmail config file to write

         'procmailrc' => '.procmailrc',

         // Port of the VFS server

         'port' => 21,

         // The VFS driver to use

         'vfstype' => 'ftp'

     ),

     'script' => 'procmail',

     'scriptparams' => array(

         // What path style does the IMAP server use ['mbox'|'maildir']?

         'path_style' => 'maildir',

         // An array of variables to append to every generated script.

         // Use if you need to set up specific environment variables.

         'variables' => array(

             // Example for the $PATH variable

             'PATH' => '/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin',

             'MAILDIR' => '$HOME/Maildir',

             'DEFAULT' => '$MAILDIR/',

             'SHELL' => '/bin/sh',

             'TERM' => 'vt100',

             'LOGFILE' => '$HOME/procmail.log'

         )

     )

);

We are using horde/imp/ingo for several years now with 
procmail/maildir. But this was a new installation and the 'problem' 
does not exists if you have set the 'variables' correct. But I forgot 
that that was nessecery and I dindn't find it logical. backends.php is 
following:

$backends['procmail'] = array(

     'driver' => 'vfs',

     'preferred' => 'artserver',

     'hordeauth' => true,

     'params' => array(

         // Hostname of the VFS server

         'hostspec' => 'localhost',

         // Name of the procmail config file to write

         'procmailrc' => '.procmailrc',

         // Port of the VFS server

         'port' => 21,

         // The VFS driver to use

         'vfstype' => 'ftp'

     ),

     'script' => 'procmail',

     'scriptparams' => array(

         // What path style does the IMAP server use ['mbox'|'maildir']?

         'path_style' => 'maildir',

         // An array of variables to append to every generated script.

         // Use if you need to set up specific environment variables.

         'variables' => array(

             // Example for the $PATH variable

                 'LOGFILE' => '$HOME/procmail.log'

         )

     )

);

I have been using ingo with procmail/maildir for well over a year with 
no problems, so my initial thoughts are a misconfigured backend.   
Please post your entire backends.php.

Hi,



If I choose Maildir in my backends.php (path_style => maildir) my mail 
is deliverd in /var/spool/mail/ . I think this is because the MAILDIR 
variable is not set on default. I suspect the administrator does not 
expect this behaviour and the following patch can solve this problem.
