postfix mail filtering

Show all headers | View raw

Hi list,

I'm running postfix under Wheezy on my VPS, using a more or less 
out-of-the-box configuration. My users access their mail via IMAP.

I subscribe to a number of mail lists, such as this one. I currently use 
Thunderbird's filtering capability to sort mail into a number of 
subdirectories within my inbox, which works fine, but requires me to set 
up all my workstayions (laptop, home, work) with the same filters. I 
have now acquired an Android smartphone, which has no filtering 
capability. In any case, keeping a number of workstations in sync is a pain.

So, I'd like to perform the filtering on the server (for my user 
initially, then perhaps for others). My extensive googling reveals that 
there are many tutorials for filtering spam, but that's not really my 
problem.

I can't find any tutorials on how to set up filters based on, say 
subject:, from:, or to: fields, but feel certain such must exist.
Can any kind person direct me to a suitable tutorial, please?

Thanks, Tony
