Hello
I'm migrating my mailhub.
on the fly I'm converting the mailboxes format from MBOX to Maildir
and I wonder how to use the vacation program ( or equivalent ) with
Maiidir format ?
vacation has nothing to do with the storage.
yes of course ... but do .forward still works with maildir format ?
I think you're still not getting it. Maildir has to do with how MESSAGES
are stored, NOT FORWARD/VACATION FILES. While maildrop can handle
delivering messages to the Maildir format just fine (and not just to the
inbox of course, but any folder you choose) Vacation/Forward
configuration is unrelated to the Maildir message storage system.
**The Maildir directory isn't even examined during the forwarding process.**
maildrop uses the HOME directory to search for the maildrop
configuration file. it all goes from there. see
http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop.html
'maildrop' is flexible, and like any other configurable LDA, can forward
messages as well as deliver them locally as well as have a conditional
vacation response, possibly all at the same time. these tools generally
have too much power for the average user, not too little (which seems to
be your concern)
The thread is over I believe. If you like, start a new thread on how to
write a forwarding/vacationing $HOME/.mailfilter file properly.
