Spamassassin, Dovecot and Postfix: Move spam to folder

dovecotpostfixspamassassin

I am trying to move Spam detected by spamassassin automatically to the Junk folder on Debian Jessie.

I installed Spamassassin and edited the configs:

local.cf (spamassassin folder)

rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****

main.cf

spamassassin_destination_recipient_limit = 1

master.cf

smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd
        -o content_filter=spamassassin

spamassassin unix -     n   n   -   -   pipe
    flags=DROhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e
    /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop}

90-plugins.conf (dovecot)

plugin {
  #setting_name = value
  sieve = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
}

default.sieve

require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
    fileinto "Junk";
}

15-mailboxes.conf (postfix)

mailbox Junk {
   auto = subscribe
   special_use = \Junk
}

The Spam gets marked as *****SPAM***** correctly, but is not moved into the Junk folder (i use roundcube as mail client, the Junkfolder does not even show up. There are no errors in the mail.info log either:

Best Answer

In my case I was missing include conf.d/*.conf line in dovecot.conf and dovecot did not read configuration from these files including 90-plugins.conf.

But I did not include that line because all my config is already in dovecot.conf and conf.d/*.conf files will override it with default settings so I simply included these lines in dovecot.conf:

plugin {
    sieve = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
}

protocol lda {
    mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}

All your other configuration is fine and should work (it seems that you get them from this answer).
