But that’s not exactly what was suggested above. It’s missing the “-d $USER”.
And I guess the mailbox name at -m is wrong.
This gets expanded to:
| /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mark -m /home/mark/mail/MLists/Fedora
But with "-m" you have to use the mailbox name dovecot uses, which could be for example
"INBOX.MLists.Fedora" or "INBOX/MLists/Fedora" or "MLists.Fedora" or even "MLists/Fedora" depending on your namespace configuration.
I suggest to use "doveadm mailbox list" to find out what the dovecot name of the target mailbox is.
Thanks to everyone who helped me sort this out. This was the most helpful reply - I had been trying both with and without the -d switch without success. Using "doveadm mailbox list" showed me that the problem was with the delivery address.
This is what I now have - and it works - Thanks to all: :0 w
- ^List-Id:.*users.lists.fedoraproject.org | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mark -m MLists/Fedora
Another two questions now please if I may:
I have tried both /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver and /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda and they both work. Are they equivalent? If not which should I use?
Switching to maildir, should the new delivery line now read: | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mark -m .MLists.Fedora/ (i.e. a dot before and after MLists and a trailing slash)?
Thanks again for all the help and support. Much appreciated...
