I'm using exim4 to deliver into dovecot 1.1, and using plus-addressing to
deliver mailing lists directly to appropriate folders in my "lists" mailbox.
I created a file called /folder-map.lists that looks like
## folder-map.lists
dovecot: Dovecot
lpedge: Linux PowerEdge
... and so on. So mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to the "Linux PowerEdge"
folder.
The one annoying thing: I'd like to avoid creating explicit folder-map
entries where the plus-address suffix is identical an existing folder name.
That *almost* works, but I like to name my folders with appropriate
capitalization, and deliver doesn't seem to have a way to do "caseless"
delivery.
For instance, ideally, I wouldn't have to create the "dovecot: Dovecot"
entry; mail to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] address would go into the "Dovecot"
folder.
I can't figure out how to do this. Is there a way to do that using deliver?
Could there be? Relevant portions of the exim configuration follow.
(And, p.s., am I using the new -a and -m options correctly? Are they used
for anything yet?)
