Debian (testing), procmail and qmail

[Liberty Young]

Okay, found it: 
To others who have the same problem, if you're trying to sort folders by
subdirectory's of your Maildir Inbox, those subfolders start with a dot

so the PLUG folder is actually ~/Maildir/.PLUG
and then your ~/procmailrc file would be: 

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log

:0:
* ^To:.*plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us
.PLUG/


the leading dot and the trialing / are imortant!

with a .qmail file of 

| /usr/sbin/qmail-procmail
