I've built a new mail system with Centos 6.5, and I'm running fetchmail -
sendmail - procmail to maildir. I have all of this working at the moment.(I
know, postfix was the default, but for lots of other reasons, I switched, and
that isn't an issue, I don't think).
I am using dovecot as an imap server. Procmail won't update indexes during email
delivery, so I'm having some performance delays and lags when accessing the
emails via imap. I would like to use dovecot-lda for delivery, but I get
permission denied errors, and I don't know why or where they are coming from.
Here is the .procmailrc and procmail log file response when I try to use
dovecot-lda from procmail:
.procmailrc
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:.
# one page suggested MAILDIR has no trailing slash, but DEFAULT should have one
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ # You'd better make sure it exists '
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
LOGFILE="$HOME/procmail_log"
LOCKFILE="$HOME/.lockmail"
LOCKEXT=.lock
:0
* .
{
LOG="$NL default recipe using copy to .ham_to_learn/ (maildir version) $NL"
}
:0 c
.ham_to_learn/
:0
| /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m $DEFAULT
I get this in my log file:
procmail: [27709] Fri Jun 20 14:00:17 2014

It doesn't matter whether I reference the link file, or dovecot-lda directly, I
get the same result.
I'm not getting any AVC (SELinux) entries in my /var/log/audit/audit.log, so it
doesn't appear to be unix permissions, or SELinux issues.
How can I find out what permissions I need to change?

current working (but not indexing) examples below here.
Two versions using procmail for delivery that succeed:
If my .procmailrc file that looks like this:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:.
# one page suggested MAILDIR has no trailing slash, but DEFAULT should have one
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ # You'd better make sure it exists '
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR

I get a copy in my inbox and a copy in my ham to learn folder. All appears OK
If I use this recipe:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:.
# one page suggested MAILDIR has no trailing slash, but DEFAULT should have one
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/ # You'd better make sure it exists '

I get this in my log file (same as above, all is well):
