  I use maildrop to automatically move ** SPAM ** to the right IMAP folder.

  @DennisD: I use Dovecot sieve to move the files and use something like:

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

  If you are running Debian, here's a guide to get sieve/managesieve installed:

  Do you have any tutorial about how to set up maildrop?

  I used this tutorial to set up my mail server: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassasin

  Thanks, I already read about sieve. But that requires users to change stuff on their end right? It won't "just" work for them.

  @DennisD: Not necessarily. You can define a global sieve.

  So that means it will show spam in a spam folder no matter what client is being used? How do I use this "global sieve"?

  Thanks for the guide, I don't need to install anything? Sieve comes by default with Dovecot? (I don't see any packages I need to install on that guide)

  For Debian/Ubuntu, you need to install the dovecot-sieve package.
