Plesk 9 – procmail filtering with postfix through .qmail file

October 19th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

I have just migrated to Plesk 9.2.2 and there is now postfix instead of qmail, so my procmail rules stopped working. Fortunately Plesk changed the MTA but has left the way they filter email, so if you want to use procmail filtering on Plesk you can just copy your .procmailrc file to /var/qmail/mailnames/$DOMAIN/$MAILBOX and run following:

#!/bin/bash

for PROCMAIL in `find /var/qmail/mailnames/ -maxdepth 3 -name .procmailrc`; do
    chown root: $PROCMAIL
    chmod 644 $PROCMAIL
    DIR=`dirname $PROCMAIL`
    FROM="/usr/bin/deliverquota \./Maildir"
    TO="/usr/bin/procmail -m -o HOME=$DIR $DIR/.procmailrc"
    sed -i $DIR/.qmail -e "s@$FROM@$TO@"
done

And here just an example of .procmailrc file

SHELL=/bin/sh
DIR=${HOME}/Maildir
