Thanks to everybody who chipped in. I came up with a workaround that
seems fairly simple - I'm actually worried that it's working too well!
I'm using a pure virtual user setup, storing a minimal amount in LDAP.
The whole mail tree is stored under /var/mail, and it's all owned by
vmail.mail. For purely selfish reasons, I'm doing everything possible
to avoid storing the mail folder in LDAP. So I came up with the following:
Postfix is capable of generating the mail folder path via LDAP
manipulation, and I was working on some wrapper scripts for delivery
agents - but since I've now totally converted to Dovecot's deliver agent
that's immaterial.
passdb ldap, just looking up the password.
userdb static {
args = uid=5000 gid=8 home=/var/mail/%d/%n mail=/var/mail/%d/%n
allow_all_users=yes
}
plugin {
sieve = sieve
}
Deliver + sieve is working great. By setting the sieve variable to
"sieve", a non-hidden file, it doesn't appear in the folder list. I
made a similar change to pysieved to use a non-hidden folder - in
combination with avelsieve and squirrelmail I now have a
user-maintainable server-side filter solution. Awesome!
Is there a hidden "gotcha" I'm missing here? It's doing exactly what I
want!
P.S. what's the "nice" parameter that can be listed in args?
