Try ctrl-d once you've typed the message. Note that's expecting a raw message, including headers and everything (might be easier to just save the message to a file and run "cat message.txt | dbmail-smtp ..."). > > message to, as the command Paul gave you does, it will create the > > mailbox if it doesn't exist.

I'm not very familiar with that old dbmail_filters patch, and don't know how wise it would be to re-call dbmail-smtp from within a filter (if even possible), but the auto-creation part should do what you're wanting. Another option which from your other posts I believe you're considering would be use sieve (which would work with lmtp or dbmail-smtp) .. it will automatically create folders if you create a script that files the message to them.
