Hi Davide, thanks for your quick reply. I use sa_filter.pl filter script in filters.in.tab from http://www.drakeconsult.com/xmail/ to invoke spamassassin, which modifies the mail in the way that it adds an "X-Spam-Flag: YES" header entry in case of the message detected as spam. My intention now is to directly deliver the tagged mails directly to a Maildir "subfolder" like ...spool/xmail/domains/domain.tld/%u/Maildir/Spam instead of ...spool/xmail/domains/domain.tld/%u/Maildir 1. While in postfix for example this can be easily modified through an entry its master.cf configuration file I dont know where to configure xmail accordingly. 2. Using dovecot-imapd with sieve mailfilter can handle direct mail delivery to other maildir directories than the default of .../domains/domain.tld/%u/Maildir, as describerd in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve#SpamAssassin_tagged_mail_filtering . As far as I understood this is accomplished by "deliver", a local delivery agent that comes with dovecot and runs in place of the lda provided by the mta, say postfix's sendmail/procmail or whatever. 3. For this to set up the program/method for local delivery has to be replaced by "deliver" which in turn handles mail filtering through sieve. Maybe this can be easyer achieved through a filter.in.tab entry and I'm thinking too "dovecot"... If so, I havent found a way to do yet. I hope, I've expressed myself more precisely now :) Regards, Nils > > > > As an alternative: Is it possible to achieve though another filters.in.tab > > entry? > > That would work. > > > > - Davide > > > _______________________________________________ > xmail mailing list > [email protected] > http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
