Hello, I've got some problems about understanding, how to filter my incoming mails. I am using dovecot 1.0.beta3 (ubuntu server) and want to implement a filter, where I can filter all my incoming messages (like the ones from the dovecot ml) to special folders within the mailbox of each user (for each user a special set of filters). Is there a chance to do this in dovecot or have I to use another program? My system works like: Fetchmail fetches mails from two mailservers and deliver them to the users inbox Procmail send them to spamassassin for checking about spam Dovecot provides access to the mailbox with IMAP Hope there is an easy way like module for webmin or something else. Thank you Daniel

Horde has a nice interface to manage the recipies via IMP but i am sure there are others ##### Dovecot ##### :0 * ^Subject:.*\[Dovecot\] "$DEFAULT/.Lists.Dovecot/" :0 E * ^To:.*Dovecot-news at dovecot\.org "$DEFAULT/.Lists.Dovecot/" ##### HordeImp ##### :0 * ^Subject:.*\[imp\] "$DEFAULT/.Lists.Horde.Imp/" ##### BSDPorts ##### :0 * ^Sender:.*owner-freebsd-ports at freebsd\.org "$DEFAULT/.Lists.FreeBSD.Ports/" ##### BSDAdvocacy ##### :0 * ^Sender:.*owner-freebsd-advocacy at freebsd\.org "$DEFAULT/.Lists.FreeBSD.Advocacy/" ##### BSDStable ##### :0 * ^Sender:.*owner-freebsd-stable at freebsd\.org "$DEFAULT/.Lists.FreeBSD.Stable/" ##### BSDAnnounce ##### :0 * ^Sender:.*owner-freebsd-announce at freebsd\.org "$DEFAULT/.Lists.FreeBSD/" ##### BSDQuestions ##### :0 * ^Sender:.*owner-freebsd-questions at freebsd\.org "$DEFAULT/.Lists.FreeBSD.Questions/"

For exampels see the promailex man page on your favorite un*x system. JC
