Additional question:Is it possibel, to add an unique THREAD ID to messages? I mean, forcing mail users to replay correctly to an EXISTING topic or open a NEW topic. If not, how can I filter incoming ML messages through procmail? It seems, the MLM does not work the same way as the rest of courier.
In what way? couriermlm does not keep track of previously sent messages. It does not search a message's References:, for previously sent messages. The threading you see in your IMAP client is part of the IMAP specification. Although the server is responsible for the threading, Courier-IMAP has to do it by the IMAP spec, and this is the only exception to that.
If you want that level of control over a mailing list, requiring specific actions to reply to existing messages, or creating a new thread, you're really talking about some web-based forum software. You can't meaningfully achieve such level of control over plain, garden-variety, email. Anyone can instruct their mail client to reply to an existing message, delete everything, and write a new mail from scratch, then send it off. Or, cut, and paste a received message into a new mail.
There's little that a mailing list manager can do about it, without engaging in complicated, overengineered, content inspection; attempting to heuristically determine whether the contents of a given message logically belong to some existing thread.
