dovecot - Aug 2007 - Moving a mail between folders and post-processing ?

Hi,

Within Dovecot is there a way of spotting a change to a folder and
running a post-processing script on the email that was moved ? I'm
specifically after a way of seeing either an email entering or leaving a
folder - preferably running a different post-process script depending on
the direction. Essentially if an email enters or is moved out of a
'spam' folder I'd like to mark it as 'spam'/'ham' in
the Bayesian
filters respectively.

Is there any such mechanism, or should I start looking at how to write a
plugin to achieve this ? If it's the plugin route is there any good
documentation on the plugin APIs etc ?

Thanks,
Jerry.

Ah, I posed a similar question (with similar intentions ;-) on this list
this month, kindly answered by Timo et al:

Besides, this plug-in (announced this month) very nearly does what
"we"
want, so it might be a good start (maybe you could use it as-is):

Have a look at the pipe[1] and dspam[2] plugins.
