My current mail setup (not dbmail which I am still learning) uses procmail as the LDA (is that the right term?). Sendmail calls it to actually deliver the email to my mailboxes. I find this highly useful as I have procmail sort my mail into all my different mailboxes, this keeps high volume mailing lists in their respective folders etc... I don't see how to do this using dbmail. Is there some way for procmail to tell dbmail-smtp to put this message in a particular folder? Is there some dbmail related program that procmail could call to do the delivery to the database? UoW imap has a program called dmail which procmail can call to deliver messages to mailbox formats it doesn't understand, I use mbx (not mbox) mailboxes right now for performance reasons.
I don't want to have all my email delivered to my INBOX and sorted into folders by a mail client such as evolution. I am constantly connecting to my imap server from different locations and using different clients. In any given day I might use squirrel mail, evolution, kmail and Outlook Express, so I can't maintain message sorting rules in the mail client. So I need some solution for server based message sorting that happens at delivery time. Thanks much, Matthew T. O'Connor
