First off, thanks to everyone who replied last week to my queries about using fetchmail with Courier. Now that I have my local domain in esmtpacceptmailfor, I can deliver mail to the smtp server, which puts it in my virtual mail box.

Excellent.

However, I'm now struggling with mail filtering. I intend to use maildrop for this. My understanding is that this should be used internally by Courier when mail is delivered via smtp. Is this correct?

The webadmin page has been set to use maildrop.

If so, where do I put the mail filter rules? Connecting via the webmail application, I can add filter rules, and these are placed in: /var/courier/mail/sam/.mailfilter

The /var/courier/mail/sam directory is my Maildir for user 'sam' (everything else being installed in /opt/courier).

However, these filter rules aren't being used. Even if I move mail to a folder if its size is > 1 byte, all incoming mail still ends up in the inbox.

Obviously I'm missing something, but I'm not quite sure what.
