I use this combination + spamassassin on the server side.
Users can have their own automatic filtering of emails to inbox
subfolders by doing a file dovecot.sieve in their home folders which can
for example then have rules like this:
if header :contains "subject" ["[Mageia-dev]"] {
fileinto "mageia-dev";
stop;
}
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] {
fileinto "spam";
stop;
}
else {
keep;
}
This rule would basically move all mageia-dev messages to mageia-dev
folder, all messages detected by spamassassing to spam folder and then
keep all other messages in the inbox.
Setting up the spamassassin daemon parts was most confussing and I do
not have exact guides in my hand. (web was floating with various guides
for postfix+dovecot+spamassassing combination from which some worked
while some did not...)
