Hello, can you activate procmail MTA instead of maildrop?

[ispdodo]

The only Mail delivery agent option i see in ISPmanager Panel - Server settings - Applications is maildrop. Should i activate procmail manually? How to do that?

[ispdodo]

Problem solved:
1. backup up all user mailboxes
2. delete all mailboxes
3. delete maildrop from ISPmanager Panel - Server settings - Applications
4. install procmail from same page
5. recover mailboxes from backup

[ispdodo]

maildrop fails while he can't move temporarily file to mailbox, I have no idea why is this happening
