Bingo! Thanks that did the trick.

Now I have a verified working setup I can look at Sieve

HI Adam,

Thanks for the pointers on procmail.

As for why not letting procmail be the LDA then this is if procmail is the final lda then dovecots database/index will not be updated from what I read meaning there will be some performance issues.

So I'm confused as to why you're piping back from procmail to dovecot LDA, rather than having procmail be the final LDA.

Why not use:

:0 w

• ^List-ID:.*jenkinsci-dev.googlegroups.com mailing-lists/jenkinsci-dev/

(The trailing slash tells procmail that jenkinssci-dev is a maildir, not an mbox)

Also, procmail is way out of date, no longer maintained, and there are "semi" known vulnerabilities that haven't been fixed. See http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=141634350915839&w=2 & the wikipedia page.

What alternatives exist for server-side filtering into folders? Is there 
anything as powerful?
