yes, I think this is the standard. I use dovecat at the moment.

So far I am completely with you. This implies that the mail is either
directly classified as spam (removed) or as roundup-related (has a
[issue...] tag). These mails can directly processed by moving away,
sending to another folder or piping through the mailgw.

This is how it works in the moment.

Yes, that was a good hint.
I was not aware that I could also run the mailgw command on imap or
mailbox files. I was aware I could use cron but I was not aware that I
could read the mails directly from the file system.

I think I will have to look into the imap(s) protocol connection further.

Thanks so far
