there is a difference between destdir and buildroot. destdir change the 
installation path but i do not want to change this paths. i only want to copy 
the files into an other directory to pack them into an rpm.

if i use destdir some coded paths were changed:
strings imapfilter | grep var    
/var/tmp/imapfilter-1.2.2-build/share/imapfilter/interface.lua
/var/tmp/imapfilter-1.2.2-build/share/imapfilter/auxiliary.lua

if i use buildroot this pathes are not changed.
