procmail or maildrop will do this. Procmail is more widely used. Maildrop has more readable configuration files. That plus earlier support for the Maildir mailbox is why I use Maildrop. Jeffrey Quoting Claude Hoffmann <claude@bluesaturn.com>:
Hi list,
does anyone know how I can automatically put certain mails into a specified folder based on rules?
I am a subscriber to different lists, e.g. Suse Linux mailing list. I would like to create an automatism which puts all mails having e.g. [SLE] as part of the header into one specified folder called e.g. SLE on the IMAP server.
I am using fetchmail to collect my mails from the mail server.
Any clues?
TIA,
Claude Hoffmann
