rsync - Dec 2013 - Question about rsyncing to a slightly different folder structure on target

Hi all,

Ok, if this isn't possible with some kind of wildcard, I can adjust the 
target manually, but if I can just modify the command to allow for the 
different folder structure on the target, I'd rather do that.

I'm incrementally rsync'ing my mailstore from the old server to the new 
server, doing testing along the way.

The command I'm currently using is:

rsync -rltgovDHP --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from 
'/path/to/excludes.txt' /mnt/oldvmail/example.com/
/var/vmail/example.com/

On the old server, dovecot is configured to just use 
.../example.com/user for the maildirs.

On the target server, I want to change this to .../example.com/user/Maildir

Is there a way to modify the above command, so that rsync automatically 
syncs what is currently in .../example.com/user to 
.../example.com/user/Maildir using wildcards or something?

Thanks

One thing you can do is to add a symlink on the sending side to point the
Maildir to '.', and then run rsync with -R --no-implied-dirs and both
the
normal top-level dir and a path down to the Maildir/ (with the trailing
slash) plus an exclude of the files in the user dir and the symlink itself.
 For instance:

mkdir -p /tmp/src/user
touch /tmp/src/user/{one,two,three}
ln -s . /tmp/src/user/Maildir
rsync -aivR --no-implied-dirs \
     --include='/src/user/Maildir/'
--exclude='/src/user/Maildir/Maildir' \
     --exclude='/src/user/*' \
     /tmp/./src /tmp/./src/user/Maildir/ /tmp/dest/
