I know this is probably the wrong place for this question, but maybe someone can point out the âHey Idiot, you missed somethingâ part of the setup.
New Debian 8 install, distribution provided postfix and procmail. (This is a pre-upgrade, test box. Mail is just being forwarded from my regular postfix email server to this one for testing.)
Email reception and delivery appear to work fine, no errors in the log file.
Log file says:
Aug 5 14:43:58 electron postfix/local[976]: 808D751D: to=<***@electron2.admin.optivus.com>, relay=local, delay=0.07, delays=0.01/0/0/0.06, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: procmail)
Aug 5 14:43:58 electron postfix/qmgr[964]: 808D751D: removed
Procmail is SUID GUID, and delivers to the correct place. Itâs running verbose, and reports no errors.
ls -la /usr/bin/procmail
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root mail 89248 Feb 11 2015 /usr/bin/procmail
Mail type is Maildir.
procmail KNOWS who I am, itâs delivering in my home folder, in exactly the right place. Itâs creating log files with my username in them. (This pretty much means that postfix is passing user info along for the ride)

procmail is postfixâs mailbox_command, these options all produce the exact same results.
#mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -d "$USER" -a "$EXTENSION"
#mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_command = procmail
Iâm hoping Iâm just too blind to see the error today, and someone out there has a quick fix.
Thanks.
