Dear All,

I need to put the SPAM mails into users' Junk Mail folder. How can we
do it in Postfix?

Mails are stored in Maildir format in the user's home directory. Junk
mail folder is inside the Maildir as ".Junk". Amavisd-new tags the
spam mails as "[SPAM]"

Highly appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks
Indrajith

You can't. Postfix does not know (or care) about the inner workings of a
user's mailbox.

Configure either the MDA or the user's MUA to put tagged mail into the
Junk folder.

The (imho) nicest solution is to use an LDA which supports sieve. Then
write a small sieve script to move spam to the junk folder. You can use
sieve for all other kinds of mail-sorting as well. Most popular LDA's
support sieve.

1. install procmail
2. configure postfix to use procmail as your local delivery agent
3. configure procmail to route spam to the junk folder - can be
configured system wide and/or per-user

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procmail is as good a place as any to start
for more info
google procmail to find lots of how-to.s

Hello,

I use maildrop package to replace "virtual". In your email
directory "/home/email" for example you put this :

Filename =>
..mailfilter

# move spam to
spamfolder
##
SPAMFLD=$DEFAULT/.Junk/
SUBSCRIPT=$DEFAULT/courierimapsubscribed

#
test idf Junk folder exists, if notr create one
# autosubscribe to the
Junk folder
`test -d "$SPAMFLD"`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`maildirmake
"$SPAMFLD"`
`echo INBOX.Junk >> $SUBSCRIPT`
}

Before, you have to
configure postfix to delivered email with
maildrop.
http://www.postfix.org/MAILDROP_README.html

For me it's the best
solution. (i use amavis also).

Regards,
