I think that's supposed to be:

zmmailbox -m admin -v -a admin -p "passwordzimbra" afrl --first "namefilter" active any header "from" contains "@teste.com.br" fileinto "/TEST"

1. If you have the filters written to a file, [filename Filters], you can run the following to add the filter rules to the account : ( Put these in a file, and run the script)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!bin/bash
exec < Filters

while read line
do
zmmailbox -z -m user@domain.com addFilterRule $line
done
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. To export filters from already existing account, run :

zmmailbox -z -m olduser@domain.com getFilterRules >> Filters

(Do this first)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. You might need to add the mailboxes first [before step 1]. For that, put the list of mailboxes you require into a file "mailbox_list" . The list would look like

/Inbox/Billing
/Inbox/Support
/Inbox/New
/Inbox/New/ABCD

To create the folders, run this as user zimbra :

for i in `cat mailbox_list`; do zmmailbox -z -m user@domain cf $i; done

Do make sure that the filter rules added does not contain spaces. Example :

The following rule would give error becaue of the space between the words "Alert: New Mail"

"Rule_1" active any header "subject" contains "Alert: New Mail from" fileinto "Inbox/New" stop

I have tried adding black slashes to escape the spaces, but they do not work.

You just have to be satisfied with using only one word in the Subject. Better option is to create filter rule using the "To" and "From".

Thank you for your posting ... The original OP posted in 2007 so Zimbra has come a long way since then with respect to its functionality in zmmailbox. Would be grateful in the future to open a new thread and post your ideas and examples.
