Matthew,
Though I use postfix instead of sm, I run a similar setup as yours.
Yes, you can tell dbmail-smtp to deliver messages to a specific folder.
The -m
switch does the trick.
A typical dynamic procmail filter for mailinglists would be:
:0
* ^List-Id: \/.*
{
LISTNAME=`echo $MATCH|sed 's/<\([^\.]*\)\..*>.*/\1/'`
:0: list.$LISTNAME
| /usr/sbin/dbmail-smtp -m list/$LISTNAME
}
One caveat though: dbmail-smtp like dmail does not create mailboxes
automagically. Unless you
run a dbmail installation patched to do this. Vanilla 1.1 doesn't
autocreate mailboxes.

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
