I don't have an answer for you, but just a follow-on idea. Your approach sounds very intriguing to me, because I'm hosting a bunch of mailboxes over IMAP, for a lot of non-technical virtual users.

I would very much like to be able to make a simple web interface allowing people to specify a folder where they want particular mailling lists delivered. If I could set up a list like you describe in a MySQL table, it would be super easy to code a front end for.

For that matter, if it's easier for Maildrop to scan a file, I could easily set up a cron job that generated such a file for each user.

Anybody have a recipe that can do this sort of thing? I imagine the stumbling block is identifying what header to filter on, since all the MLM software seems to have a different set of identifying characteristics...

Hi,

I am subscribed to quite a few mailing lists and I want to use Maildrop to sort my mail by list. This seems to be pretty straightforward using a list of mailbox addresses and lookup().

However, I want to send more than one list to certain mailboxes and I don't necessarily want to name the mailboxes after the list.

I thought I would create a list of mailbox/list pair like this: - - - Schnipp - - - cour@lists.sourceforge.net ML/Mail mutt@mutt.org ML/Mail post@postfix.org ML/Mail disc@nedit.org ML/NEdit deve@nedit.org ML/NEdit - - - Schnapp - - -

This list would be read by some script which would be fed the mail and return the mailbox' name to Maildrop.

Before starting that, I would like to ask you whether one of you already did something similar or whether there is a better approach using Maildrop. Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
