I had a little problem because my provider does not allow running daemons. However, crontab is fine.

Since setting up aliases does not work either and I did not want to change .procmailrc all the time, I'm using a catchall user and Maildir delivery.

In order to make this work, I changed two things.

  else: qrunner = qrclass(slice, range)

First I added the x-original-to field since some mails got stuck.

The second change in qrunner is the short hack to get all pending stuff done with one run from crontab: qrunner -v -r All -o

Would that be something that could be included in future releases maybe as a separate option?
