Hello,
I currently use procmail without the deliver LDA but would like to switch to using deliver. I also would like to get away from procmail for various reasons. Otherwise I could use the procmail-patch from
http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2006-July/014656.html
AFAICS.
I don't want to use sieve because it's too limited
one thing I'm lacking is variable expansion, something like:
if header matches foostring-(.*), then deliver in folder bar.$1.
like in e.g. automatic folder creation for MLs - yup - makes sense.
and can't see a similar patch like the one for procmail available for maildrop.
why would you need such a patch for maildrop?
What setup would I use for Postfix+maildrop+deliver?
you can build maildrop without authlib if you don't want authdaemon.
if you mailstore is "static/simple", you can then deliver directly with maildrop.
Otherwise, use the -m flag to specify the target folder.
yup - as I'm using maildir, deliver only really helps for huge mailboxes.
I did some experiments, read maildropfiter(5) a bit and found out that with the "to" statement you can deliver to an external program via a pipe which will be "deliver" in my case. That works so far.
This is really cool :) !
thanks for the hint - I somehow thought it wasn't possible that easily,
Tom
