My question: Is that true? You can deliver to Maildir folders with procmail too. The trick is to create a Maildir folder first, and then append '/' to the folder name in your `.procmailrc' file. To create an empty Maildir/ folder, you can use: $ mkdir -p Maildir/cur Maildir/new Maildir/tmp $ chmod 0700 Maildir Maildir/* A delivery recipe, which sends all 'FreeBSD-related' email into this folder would look like this: :0 H * Sender:.*@.*freebsd.org Maildir/ Note the use of a trailing '/' character to denote that this is not a UNIX "mbox" folder, but a Maildir folder. > Because, that would be a problem, since Dreamhost.com indicates I > *must* switch to maildir format from mbox (that is exactly why I am > moving away from rmail!) in order to have their built-in anti-spam > software work for me..

Does their build-in antispam stuff work with your Maildir folders *after* email has been delivered into the folder? If this is true, it may be tricky to get their antispam to work with Gnus and "nnml"-style folders. You can use Gnus to read messages *directly* from the Maildir/ folder though.
