Thanks much. That is what I thought. 

I tried to figure out how to use dovecot-lda and sieve. The most
difficult part was to find documentation how to code the sieve file.
But I got it working.

The next question is how to incorporate bogofilter?

The only way I figured out to do that was to have a small script like
this:

#! /bin/sh

/usr/bin/bogofilter -u -e -p | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a manfred


and to name that script as mda in fetchmail's .fetchmailrc file.

Is there a better way?
