Thanks for the tip!

Would you mind sharing your dovecot.conf lines where you made dovecot
use maildrop instead of whatever it uses as the default?

I am not able to find anything good when I search for dovecot +maildrop :-/

Thanks!

You probably wouldn't. Dovecot does what it's told ... it serves the mail you've already sorted.

I call maildrop from getmail ... getmail connects to my ISP(s), downloads mail, deletes it from the ISP(s), then calls maildrop to process the mail.

In my ~/.getmail/getmailrc configuration, this tells it what to do with mail it receives

[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /opt/local/bin/maildrop
unixfrom = True
user = <yourusername>

and Maildrop obeys the filters I've set up in   ~/.mailfilter

and the first thing in the .mailfilter that is done is to send off any/ all mail to DSpam


DEFAULT = "$HOME/Maildir"
xfilter "/opt/local/bin/dspam --user <yourusername> --process --stdout --deliver=innocent,spam"
if (/^X-DSPAM-Result: Spam.*$/)
{
    to "$DEFAULT/.Junk/"
}


So anything that doesn't come back flagged as Spam, then gets filtered into the desired places which is what you then see in Dovecot.
