[maildropl] how to test if a maildir exists

[Jukka S. <sal...@gm...>]

hi,

what is the best way to test if a maildir exists? i'd like to add
such tests to my /etc/maildroprc where i defined some rules which
move messages e.g. to a trash folder. but sometimes users delete
their trash folders...

so far my tests look like:

if (`test -d $DIR && echo y`)
{
	to $DIR
}

it works, but i could imagine there to be a better way. any
suggestions?


tia, jukka
