I want Maildrop to create a folder named Spam if no such folder exists (upon
receiving a mail that is tagged as Spam). So I created a maildroprc file like
the following:

-- start of my maildroprc script -- import HOME import MAILDIRQUOTA

XBOUNCE="| bouncesaying 'Sorry, no mailbox here by that name.'"

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: Yes/) { `test -d $HOME/Maildir/.Spam` if( $RETURNCODE != 0 ) { `/usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $HOME/Maildir` `echo INBOX.Spam >> $DEFAULT/courierimapsubscribed` }

to "$HOME/Maildir/.Spam" } if ( $HOME eq "" ) { to "$XBOUNCE" } else { exception { include "$HOME/.mailfilter" } exception { to "$HOME/Maildir" } } to "$HOME/Maildir" -- end of maildroprc --

Problem is, upon receiving a spam mail, maildrop created a file, NOT A FOLDER.

[root@maildevel root]# ls -al /home/example.com/roger/Maildir/ total 48 drwx------ 9 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:22 . drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 .. drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 courierimapkeywords -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 36 Jan 6 10:21 courierimapsubscribed -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 15 Jan 6 10:21 courierimapuiddb drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 cur drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 .Drafts drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 new drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 .Sent -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 3801 Jan 6 10:22 .Spam drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:22 tmp drwx------ 6 vmail vmail 4096 Jan 6 10:21 .Trash

I am using Courier-imap. But if I were to run that command from shell:

# /usr/local/bin/maildirmake -f Spam /home/example.com/roger/Maildir

that would CORRECTLY created Spam as a folder. Wonder why Maildrop does not do
that thru maildroprc ? Any idea?
