You would need to setup sieve scripts for your mailboxes. See http://www.dbmail.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=sieve for how to write a script. This script will then do things with messages as they are delivered to dbmail via the dbmail-deliver (pipe method) or dbmail-lmtpd (LMTP delivery). Messages inserted via IMAP would not be processed, thus if you move a message from a folder to the inbox that was filtered in the first place, it wouldn't disappear on you back to the sorted folder.

Hi, all.  I'm seriously thinking of trying out DBMail, but I don't
understand one particular thing: message filtering.  Right now, I'm using
MailScanner to flag messages, and then I use procmail to filter my
messages based on header; ones flagged as spam go into the spam folder,
and everything else gets filtered based on where it's from (e.g., mail
from the Postfix mailing list goes into my Postfix directory).  Since
that's done with Maildir, it's a pretty straightforward mechanism.  How do
you go about that with DBMail?

Thanks!

P.S.  Sorry if this is a duplicate; I'd tried sending it before, but I
guess I wasn't properly subscribed.
