Hi there, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.9-1 under Arch Linux.
Currently, I have Maildir configured, and I move all my emails into dovecot by using this sequence:
- cron starts fetchmail periodically under user manfred to collect my mails from various email accounts.
- In ~/.fetchmailrc I have configured /usr/bin/maildrop as MDA.
- In ~/.mailfilter (used by maildrop) I have extensive filtering in place and call bogofilter (by using xfilter) to classify spam mails.
This works fine so far. Now I'd like to migrate to dovecot's new format multi-dbox.
My question now: Is it correct that then I cannot longer use maildrop and would need to switch do dovecot-lda?
No, you can continue using maildrop. But you must finally use dovecot's lda to deliver the mail into the mailstore.
Instead of
to
use the following within your rules
/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -m
and the same without the -m option as the last rule in your .mailfilter.
Greetings Juergen
