I guess I could also say that I've been going to implement something
similar to Dovecot some day as well. Although I was thinking about a bit
more generic event plugin which supported more than just copying. But a
pipe plugin would be a great start towards that. Most people would use
it only for spam/ham learning anyway.

I think using mailbox names would be better than paths, but I know that
v1.0's code base doesn't really make this possible. Perhaps with v1.1
then switch to using mailbox names.
