so how do you have cyrus deliver your mails then? :-)
Most people these days deliver with LMTP from their MTA; see lmtpd(8).
And they use Sieve for filtering, instead of procmail.
I think the original poster's intention is to download mails from his
ISP with fetchmail, then via procmail to cyrus (with deliver). But I
think you are right, since recent fetchmail knows how to deliver to a
lmtp socket this should be more easier and faster (see the smtphost
delivery option in the fetchmail manual).
The initial poster of the question wants to do procmail filtering, so I
think the choice he did is reasonable - if you're piping mails anyway,
deliver is just fine.
I think the comment with LMTP was only to clarify that there are other
means of getting the messages into the system; I don't think it was a
suggestion and I don't think that LMTP is better in this specific case
(in general, I prefer it, though).
