Snarf Plugin ============ Requires v2.0.8+. This plugin can be used to move mails from a "snarf mailbox" to user's real INBOX. For example from '/var/mail/user' mbox file to user's final INBOX (e.g. '~/mbox' or '~/Maildir'). Dovecot moves as many messages as it can until it runs out of messages or out of quota. Configuration ------------- You need a default and a snarf namespace, for example: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- #mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=~/mbox #mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace default { prefix = separator = / inbox = yes } namespace snarf { prefix = /snarf separator = / location = mbox:/var/run/dovecot/empty:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY list = no hidden = yes } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then tell snarf to get the mails from '/snarf/INBOX': ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- plugin { snarf = /snarf/INBOX } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use hierarchy separator as the first character in snarf namespace prefix to make sure that there won't be any conflicts with user's mailbox names. UW-IMAP style optional snarfing ------------------------------- UW-IMAP does snarfing from '/var/mail/user' to '~/mbox' file, but only if '~/mbox' exists. Normally Dovecot does the snarfing always if it's enabled. To enable it only optionally, set also: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- # keep mail_location etc. settings as above plugin { mbox_snarf = ~/mbox } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now the snarfing is done only if '~/mbox' file exists. If it's not, the '/var/mail/user' is used directly as the INBOX. (This file was created from the wiki on 2019-06-19 12:42)
