I'm using Exim for my MTA. I set up a trick to deliver directly to IMAP folders by using a "-" to separate the name from the folder.
user-folder@domain.com
This delivers to user@domain.com and puts it in the IMAP "folder" for that user. The folder has to already exists for this to work. It's very popular with my users too because it's like each folder has it's own email address.
I suggest Dovecot support this idea, but it would need some configuration settings. My choice of a single "-" for the delimiter between user and folder probably wasn't the best choice. So the delimiter needs to be setable.
I think the best way to implement this would be to code it using a Sieve script. I'm not sure if it's powerful enough without extensions though (I've only seen simple Sieve scripts), but I think that's the right way to do it..
Timo,
Would a single Sieve script be able to do this for all users. I'm not familiar with Sieve so would anyone have an example of how to do this?
If sieve can't do this for everyone in a single script then I'd like you to keep thinking about my proposal for direct delivery to folders with some kind of user[delimiter]folder@domain.com syntax. I'm using that and it is very powerful.
