Hi,
is there a way to lookup the action for an incoming mail, especially
which folder to move the mail in, in a database?
Given Problem:
I want to replace the mda mailfilter/maildrop with dovecot/sieve.
The mailfilter script is rather short, but looksup the destination
folder by querying a berkeley database file with the sender's address to
find the target folder, using the sender's address as an index. This
way, it can store the target folder for hunders or thousands of senders,
without needing to compare every single one of them by if == elsif ==
else...
Is there a similar method for dovecot / sieve?
I found that dovecot's sieve has some database connections, e.g. LDAP or
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/dict/
but rather to receive the whole sieve script for a given recipient as
the owner of the mailbox.
Is there a way to determine the target folder where to drop a mail into
quickly by the sender's address, even for thousands, without the need to
compare every single one of them?
regards
Hadmut
