[ingo] importing existing .procmailrc?

[Markus Krause]

Hi list!

we are currently using mail filtering with ingo "directly" (means a  
user has to log and then the filtering will take place) and want to  
switch to procmail to have all filtering done on the mail server. But  
several of our users have already some simple .procmailrc, in addition  
we want to use procmail for forwarding and vacation instead of  
".vacation.msg/.vacation" and ".forward", so (it seems) we need some  
script to import the existing settings from  
.procmailrc/.vacation/.forward into the horde/ingo prefs database (we  
are using a mysql database as backend).
I already have a working script which can create .procmailrc for every  
user with added forwarding/vacation (if it is set), but how can i  
"import" these settings (or most simply a complete .procmailrc file)  
into the prefs database?

As an intensive search did not reveal anything matching this topic,  
did anyone already face and solve the same problem?

Where can i find deeper information on how to store the filter  
settings correctly in the mysql database? (I already found out that  
they were stored in horde_prefs with pref_scope="ingo", but I am not  
sure about the format!)

Thanks in advance for any hints!

With best regards
    Markus
