is rumored to have said:
Using Linux, postfix, dovecot.
For sorting incoming mail into different maildir folders, i know
general advice is to have postfix deliver to dovecot instead of
maildir, and use dovecot sieve to deliver the mail into a user's
sub-folder.
Is there anyway within postfix (or policy service) to deliver to a
user's maildir sub-folder (based on from address) without relying on
dovecot?
Postfix only knows how to deliver to the top level of a Maildir
directory (i.e. a properly named file in ~/Maildir/new/, if
home_mailbox=Maildir/) and does not have any knowledge of how the IMAP
mailboxes might be laid out, which can vary substantially.
An alternative to using the Dovecot LDA or LMTP is an old, reliable,
unmaintained, and probably full of security holes tool: procmail.
