The difference is that nowadays deliver supports namespaces. How have
you configured them? For example if you have INBOX/ prefix for all your
private mailboxes, you'd have to save the mail to INBOX/spam, not spam.

Now, how to do this automatically? Well, the choices would be:

a) Remove the namespace prefix.

b) Call deliver with -m INBOX/$mailbox from your MTA. But this is
probably tricky, because if there is no + in the address you'd get -m
INBOX/. Although it still gets saved to INBOX, you'll get "invalid
mailbox name" logged.

c) Perhaps there could be a new "default namespace prefix" setting that
applies to -m parameter if it's specified. Or perhaps -m <namespace
prefix> should silently just save the mail to INBOX. Hmm. Perhaps the
latter.

Anyone else have any better ideas?
