Hi Henrik,

I do not use procmail, but if you need it, and are using it to deliver
mail to cyrus using cyrus' deliver program, you need to make sure that
it is not stripping off the @... part of the recipient address.

>MAILER(cyrusv2)dnl

This is where the cyrusv2.m4 file gets included. On your system, it
should be in /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer it would seem.

>MAILER(smtp)dnl
>define(confLOCAL_MAILER, cyrusv2)dnl

This last line (define(confLOC...) should come before any of the
"MAILER" lines.

I also have a "nocanonify" option in my .mc, though I am not sure it is
really necessary.

To eliminate problems, you might try commenting out the procmail lines
(with a "dnl " in front of them) and re-building your sendmail.cf file
and restart sendmail. Make sure that in your sendmail.cf, in the
Mcyrusv2 section, the S=... line reads:

 S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP, E=\r\n,

and that the last line of the mailer (two lines below that) reads:

 A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp

See if you can get sendmail --> lmtp --> cyrus-imap working and then
put procmail back in the mix and see what happens.

Mike.
