Re: Sorting Lists

I don't have an answer for you, but just a follow-on idea. Your approach
sounds very intriguing to me, because I'm hosting a bunch of mailboxes
over IMAP, for a lot of non-technical virtual users.

I would very much like to be able to make a simple web interface
allowing people to specify a folder where they want particular mailling
lists delivered. If I could set up a list like you describe in a MySQL
table, it would be super easy to code a front end for.

For that matter, if it's easier for Maildrop to scan a file, I could
easily set up a cron job that generated such a file for each user.

Anybody have a recipe that can do this sort of thing? I imagine the
stumbling block is identifying what header to filter on, since all the
MLM software seems to have a different set of identifying
characteristics...
