To avoid mailer loops, automatic BCC recipients are not generated after Postfix forwards mail internally, or after Postfix generates mail itself. ...

(that's what I am trying to backup) -- 'I warn you, dragon, the human spirit is-' They never found out what it was, or at least what he thought it was, although possibly in the dark hours of a sleepless night some of them might have remembered the subsequent events and formed a pretty good and gut-churning insight, to whit, that one of the things sometimes forgotten about the human spirit is that while it is, in the right conditions, noble and brave and wonderful, it is also, when you get right down to it, only human.

Oh, thanks for that. I'd made very little progress in finding "fileinto :create"

sorry german
with listescape plugin enabled something like
require
["reject","variables","date","fileinto","mailbox","envelope","subaddress","regex","copy","include"];
# Extract date info
if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; }
if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; }
if currentdate :matches "day" "*" { set "day" "${1}"; }
if envelope :detail :matches "to" "*" { set :lower "to" "${1}"; }
if true {
if header :contains "Return-Path" "${to}@domain.de" { fileinto :create
"user-backup/${year}/${month}/${day}/${to}/out";}
else { fileinto :create "user-backup/${year}/${month}/${day}/${to}/in";}
stop;

And, I get hampered on the very first step:
To use Sieve, you will first need to make sure you are using Dovecot LDA or
LMTP for delivering incoming mail to users' mailboxes. Then, you need to enable
the Pigeonhole Sieve plugin in your configuration:
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
OK, so I am using dovecot-lda via postfix/master.cf, but in my configuration I
have a section tagged protocols, not protocol.
Don't know if this is the same thing, or a slightly different thing. I don't
know where/what $mail_plugins refers to, and there is no "plugins" section of
my configuration file. In fact, the string "plug" doesn't appear in
dovecot.conf (there are some commented lines for mail_plugins in conf.d/ files).
Then, sieve_global_path is deprecated, but despite being tagged as deprecated,
the example config uses the sieve_global_path. Shouldn't the example use
sieve_default?
Looks like further down is the sieve_before, but really, the documentation
feels almost like it has set out with the intention of being as obtuse as
possible.
If I understand it, and I am sure I do not, what I need to add in to
dovecot.conf is something like this:
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
(which is separate and unrelated to my "protocols = imap" existing line in
dovecot.conf)
plugin {
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/archive.sieve
}
And then in archive.sieve I find out what the commands are to write a COPY of
the mail to a location after getting the date info.
require ["variables","date","fileinto","mailbox"];
if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; }
if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; }
And a command like this, but not this, since i wan the backup stores in an
absolute path outside the IMAP store and I obviously only want a copy of that
message.
fileinto :create "INBOX.Lists.${year}.${month}.dovecot";
}

Wow, that is a whole lot more work that what I did with procmail which was practically one line in the /usr/locale/etc/procmailrc right at the top. YER=`date %Y` MON=`date %m` :0c /backup/mail/$YER/$MON/ I'll start with Sieve (though I still haven't used it) and see what that can do, but this at least I can do, if sieve proves too annoying to get going. -- Granny Weatherwax didn't hold with looking at the future, but now she could feel the future looking at her.
