I am not even sure if this is possible. I cannot find an example of it
anywhere.
I am in the process of setting up a "plus" addressing system. The
addresses would be addresses to accounts like
<sales+USERNAME at domain.com>. there are presently 50 such names in
sales.
This is the one line entry I presently have in the sieve script:
if envelope :detail "To" "joe" {fileinto "joe";
stop;}
Now, what I would like to do is find a way to do this:
if envelope :detail "To" "joe" {fileinto :detail; stop}
That does not work though. I really do not want to list every available
user individually since it will eventually become a nightmare to
maintain. Is there any way in a sieve script to assign the value of
":detail" to another variable and use that variable in the
"fileinto"
portion of the script? I would also need to maintain the same case
folding so as not to create multiple folders with the same name; ie,
Joe, joe, jOe.
Thanks!

Here's an example: require ["variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress"]; if envelope :is :user "to" "sales" { if envelope :matches :detail "to" "*" { /* Save name in ${name} in all lowercase except for the first letter. * Joe, joe, jOe thus all become 'Joe'. */ set :lower :upperfirst "name" "${1}"; } if string :is "${name}" "" { /* Default case if no detail is specified */ fileinto "sales"; } else { /* For sales+joe@ this will become users/Joe */ fileinto "users/${name}"; } } Regards, Stephan.

I will try putting that into effect later this week. I want to clean up a few other problems first. I thought I had to use replaceable variables; however, I could not find any easy to understand documentation on it. Most of what I was reading was just getting me confused. -- Jerry ?
