once setup correctly it works like expected :-)
Good!
how do you separate older postings into the Archive? something like "doveadm search + move ?
Yes basically with move. I'd like to have them archived by year e.g. Public/Archive/Mailing-Lists/Dovecot/2014. Being lazy when it comes to repetitive tasks, I wrote a little script for it. It gives a good idea how to do it (hopefully). Please note that this only has minimal error handling as I'm setting most parameters in the script rather than the shell - butterfingers... No bashism comments please :)
