Issue SpamAssassin is trying to deliver SPAM msg to INBOX.Spam instead .Spam

ProDC

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have default imap (dovecot) configuration, but SpamAssassin is trying to deliver SPAM msg to INBOX.Spam with error:

save failed to open mailbox INBOX.Spam: Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX.Spam

Default Spam folder is .Spam and I would like to deliver SPAM msg to this folder. How can I fix this issue?

BR.
 
I think that you have nothing in the output of the command:

# doveadm mailbox list -u [email protected] | grep -i Spam

Try to create a missing folder with the command:

# doveadm mailbox create -u [email protected] INBOX.Spam

and check results after that.
 
Ok, is it possible to change this to .Spam which is default for example for Roundcube and others email client?
 
I can't understand the problem. On my personal Plesk mailbox I see

# doveadm mailbox list -u [email protected] | grep -i Spam
INBOX.Spam

And in all mail clients and in Roundcube I see Spam folder in the root but not in INBOX. What is wrong here?
 
That's the problem. By default I have in doveadm:

# doveadm mailbox list -u me@domain.com | grep -i Spam
Spam

(not INBOX.Spam, I didn't change this setting.) and in all mail clients and in Roundcube I see Spam folder in the root but not in INBOX also.
But SpamAssassin is trying to deliver SPAM msg to INBOX.Spam.
I think that these settings should be the same.

In this issue the best way is to change default Spam folder for delivering msg by SA, isn't it?

PS. I have Ubuntu.
 
I can only recommend creating a request to support team to do the in-depth investigation to find the reason and to fix it. Please create a ticket to Plesk support.
