Replacement for antispam plugin

[Andy R]

Greetings to the list :)


I've been meaning to ask a couple of questions about the imapsieve for 
antispam.


Firstly, I guess that the example at the bottom of the page 
"https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/IMAPSieve"  is meant 
to link to the new example at 
"https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/AntispamWithSieve" now?


Also... in "imapsieve_mailboxX_name = ${directory}"  is the string a 
literal, or is it working with the 'special use' flagged directories 
from the xx-mailboxes.conf? I'm asking as though I only have a few users 
to worry about, different mail clients each have their favourite special 
folders. IE thunderbird uses "junk" but one Outlook express version 
likes "Junk E-mail" and I have a different favourite from another 
version of OE too. So in mailboxes.conf I just added extra special use 
lines which seemed to make things happy. Otherwise I ended up with the 
server configured 'spam' folder showing as basic folder, and then each 
client adding it's own chosen spamfolder each time too.


But, if the imapsieve is only matching to literal foldernames, should I 
just duplicate the trigger lines for each type of junk folder or is 
there a method to have the sieve script enumerate all the options listed 
by 'special use'  or is there a better method for this? I want to put 
the spam-mail-filing script as a global sieve script as all users will 
need it, rather than duplicating out for each user.



Many thanks ,


Andy R
