getmail + qmail + procmail replacement + courier-imap = win?

Why use an mta at all? getmail was specifically designed to avoid that.

You can just do something like:

getmail ->  procmail ->  whatever

getmail ->  dovecot-deliver+sieve plugin


I use getmail, dovecot, and postfix. I have getmail and postfix forwarding to dovecot with sieve, and a root .forward file for receiving server logs and filtering to a directory of their own. I haven't integrated dspam and the dovecot-antispam plugin in yet but will. Postfix doesn't handle anything other than local mail, and even then only logs.

The main trouble I had was getting the local storage layout the way *I* wanted instead of defaults, `mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/mail/%u`. I was also able to import and filter all of my Mail.app 1.3 mail via a simple perl script I wrote using /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver. With the getmail/refilter trick, fixing sieve problems can be easy and has it almost all server side.
