Have you considered using sieve for the task? [Using imap4flags extension] Yes, but I think it's not the optimal solution for what I want to do:
Basically, I don't want emails to be sent first to the MTA and then again to dovecot to be stored in "Sent Messages". So I made a script that puts an email received from the MTA by an authenticated user into his local Maildir/Sent folder, using: dovecot-lda -d $user -m Sent. Such emails should be marked as seen.
Sieve would be an option if it were possible to have a global sieve script that is always executed, not only when there's no user script.

Could not you use sieve_before? http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
You may consider using sieve_after if you want to allow users to overwrite your choice of "self copy" handling.
sieve_after sounds interesting!
Is there a way to match the destination mailbox in a sieve script? The email comes in by dovecot-lda -d $user -m Sent Now the sieve script should somehow match the mailbox "Sent".
I solved the problem now as follows: With MODIFY_REPLACE instead of MODIFY_ADD my original approach seems to work. I added an -S switch to the dovecot-lda sources and when it is set, I do mail_update_flags(ctx.src_mail, MODIFY_REPLACE, MAIL_SEEN) just before mail_deliver(...)
A solution without modifing dovecot's source would be more pleasant but I don't see an option to match the destination mailbox with sieve or any other way to set the seen flag upon mail delivery.
