Q. How can I make spam go to an IMAP folder?
A. These instructions are specific to RedHat/Fedora/CentOS with
Postfix, SpamAssassin and Dovecot
but with tweaks will work on any distro.
We also assume you already have SpamAssassin classifying
the mail.
Make Postfix use Dovecot's local delivery agent.
In file /etc/postfix/main.cf add:
mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
We had to loosen the permissions on the mail folder.
For deliver to work:
chmod o+rw /var/spool/mail
Modify SpamAssassin's configuration to place
a simple score in the header.
In file /usr/share/spamassassin/10_default_prefs.cf add:
add_header all Score _SCORE_
Install the dovecot-sieve package:
dnf install dovecot-sieve
Or
dnf install dovecot-pigeonhole
Make Dovecot use Sieve. Modify file
/etc/dovecot.conf:
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = cmusieve
}
plugin {
sieve = /etc/sieve/sieve.conf
}
Create the sieve configuration directory.
It needs to world writable.
mkdir /etc/sieve
chmod 777 /etc/sieve
Make file /etc/sieve/sieve.conf that looks like this:
require ["relational", "comparator-i;ascii-numeric", "fileinto"];
# if exists "X-Spam-Flag" {
# fileinto "spam";
# }
if not header :contains "X-Spam-Score" "-" {
if header :value "ge" :comparator "i;ascii-numeric" "X-Spam-Score" "10" {
fileinto "spam";
}
}
Restart everything.
