my thought would be: make it like amavis ...
- your mta forwards you the mail via smtp.
- you munch the email (although i seriously wonder why)
- you send it back to your mta via smtp
- mta calls dovecot to deliver the mail
for better suggestions, it would be nice to know what kind of modifications you want to do.
for the moment i want to delete mails from dovecots maildir. but i am looking for a general way for automate mail processing with perl. not shure yet to what this will lead sven
uhm ... you should be a bit more specific ... deleting mails could mean "all mails older than" there the expire tool could help you.
in general i would use imap to delete mails, as you are independent of the used storage.
darix
i want to move mails from some specific imap folder to some other folder on the filesystem to precess them further more. but maybe i want to copy the mail and then set the seen flag. i think both can be done via imap, but maybe i want to add some tag/keyword, text or attachment from some processing skript with processing informations thinks getting more complex ... sven
