It's been several years since I needed to think about a setup like this so I could be wrong or misremembering... Okay, now that the disclaimer is out the way. Isn't IMAP just a protocol for communicating with the mail server? So under that assumption, it seems like you can put stuff in your mail spool however you want. That is, I think your DEFAULT would work just fine with IMAP. I can't comment on the interaction with spamd. Could you test it on a different account that uses the same setup? > > > If it's relevant, I'm using dovecot and exim4 on debian etch. If you find that exim4 is confusing or the manual leaves you with too many questions, I recommend giving postfix a try. I was quite reluctant to switch but I've never looked back.
