dovecot - Mar 2007 - deliver to subfolder with dovecot's LDA

Hi all...

How can deliver messages to a subfolder using the LDA?

For example, I want a message to joe+spam at abc.com to be placed inside
the 'spam' subfolder.

Any hint is appreciated.

Thanks ;)

$ deliver --help
Usage: deliver [-c <config file>] [-d <destination user>] [-m
<mailbox>]
               [-f <envelope sender>]

So for the example above, you can call it like this:

$ deliver -d joe at abc.com -m spam

To do this from Postfix, /etc/postfix/master.cf:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -        -      pipe
 flags=DRhu user=virtual argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -f
${sender} -m ${extension}

However, I think LDA freaks out if you pass -m "".  So this might not
work when there is no "+folder".

Timo: Should -m treat empty string as if -m was not passed at all?

Hello!

If you want to use procmail for filtering this might be interesting for 
you:

Try my patch from:
http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-July/014656.html

You can use dovecots deliver program with procmail, it also trips the from 
lines. It works well for me since July 2006.

Logging is done through the procmail logging.
