I've everything running fine under CentOS-7, as far as I can tell, except that spam is not being diverted to my spam folder ~/Maildir/.Spam . I'm running postfix + spamass-milter + spamass-milter-postfix + dovecot (+ spamassassin), and spam is being duly marked before ending in my inbox .
As far as I can see, the current advice is to leave filtering to dovecot, using the dovecot-pigeonhole rpm.
I'm wondering if anyone else is doing this? If so, what settings exactly did you use? I haven't been able to find any clear documentation, or rather I have seen widely differing instructions. My brief attempt failed, so if anyone can help I should be very grateful.
(Or if anyone has a better spam filtering scheme ...)

Hi Timothy,
I feel that specific topic is better discussed on the dovecot mailing list than here.
Anyhow, you didn't give specifics about your setup.
How do you have mail delivery configured between Postfix and dovecot? Using LDA or LMTP?
How is dovecot configured? -> doveconf -n
Did you enable sieve at all in your dovecot configuration?
Greetings
Alexander

Thanks for your response. I'm sure you are right; I'll re-ask the question on the dovecot list. The reason I asked here was that I was not sure how specific this is to the CentOS-7 setup.

I'm not sure - I made no change relevant to this in the given config files - main.cf and master.cf . Should I have done? And how do I tell what is being used? In any case, the current setup seems to work, since mail is getting through to ~/Maildir (too much of it).
How is dovecot configured? -> doveconf -n
I made no change at all to dovecot.conf as supplied in CentOS-7.
Did you enable sieve at all in your dovecot configuration?
No - that was my question, how should one do that? As I said, I have read widely different suggestions on the web.
But I will move my query to the dovecot mailing list, as you suggest.

I run spamassassin on my mailserver, pick up the mail from there with my desktop machine using fetchmail, and filter it with procmail.

Thanks for your response.
I'm actually doing that on another server, but I thought the dovecot sieve method would be simpler, if I could sent it up. Otherwise I'll revert to procmail.
