    Hello,
         
    I trying to setup mailserver using :

        Postfix-Procmail-Fetchmail-SpamAssassin-ClamAV-Courier IMAP

    I have a little doubt about courier-imap function.

    Procmail does the following :

    " Procmail is a very flexible autonomous mail processor. It handles mail
    that has been received by Postfix using .procmailrc 'recipes' that
    determine what to do based on various aspects of the mail. You can
    configure a unique .procmailrc for each user. My .procmailrc whitelists
    some mailing lists and addresses, pipes everything else through
    Spamassassin, and delivers the results to my maildir directory. "

    Fetchmail the following:
    " Fetchmail does just that - fetches mail from specified remote POP3
    servers and delivers it to Postfix. "

    If procmail delivers to maildir that should do. Maildir contains all mail

    client folders.

    What does then courier-imap do then ?

    Thanks in advance

    varun
