Personally, I still use procmail and use it to pipe mail through
spamassassin, and also use it in conjuction with Dovecot LDA:
At the the top the procmailrc define the $DELIVER variable to
/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver .
Then a simple rule:
:0
* ^List-Id:.*some.list.id
| $DELIVER -m mailbox
The -m switch automatically create non-existing Maildir++ mailboxes
should the not already be present. I Think it needs to be enabled in one
of the configuration files for Dovecot.
It works nicely, but then i'm sure the Dovecot sieve implementations
work well too; i've not tried them yet.
Cheers, Jamie.
