Interesting. That would probably require quite a big change to the
"deliver" mechanism - as the message would have to be reintroduced into
the process flow... Currently, it is a single "arrives + sieved + stored
in mailbox"....
... An alternative approach might be to implement the "redirect" feature
in sieve. So that 'fileinto "some.folder"' wouldn't do any extra
processing, but 'redirect "bb+some dot folder at localhost"' would cause the
mail to be reintroduced to lmtpd, where it would be processed by the
script for the folder. Potentially, there is more processing overhead -
but the script writer gets to have explicit control of the processing
behaviour, and it would probably be easier to implement - and a bit
easier to understand any "side effects" of the message processing flow.
Ian.
