Hi all,
In short, I'm trying to use sieve to filter my mail in a dpkg-supplied
dovecot/postfix virtual mailbox setup on a lenny machine. I can't find
anything to suggest that sieve's being used (or even loaded) at all,
and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
I've got this in my /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = cmusieve
}
plugin {
sieve = /etc/dovecot/sieves/%u.sieve
}
And I've got /etc/dovecot/sieve.default:
Looking at your configuration, you're only telling dovecot to look in
/etc/dovecot/sieves. If you need a default sieve,
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/CMU suggests you need to add
sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/default.sieve AND make sure that
/etc/dovecot/sieves/email.sieve doesn't exist.
require [fileinto, envelope, subaddress];
if envelope :detail to test{
fileinto test;
}
The above page also suggests looking for a
/etc/dovecot/default.sieve.err file in case you've made errors.
then I run
echo woo. test | mail -s Testing email+t...@address.com
And the email doesn't get filtered, it's just dropped into the inbox
(I've already created a 'test' folder in a mail client). I was under the
impression that on first use the sieve file should be compiled into
some form of non-ascii file, but I can't find trace of that, so I'm
guessing it's not being parsed at all.
On the other hand, it does get dropped into the em...@address.com
inbox, so I'm fairly satisfied that Postfix is getting its bit right,
and Dovecot is correctly interpreting the local part of the address.
I can't find anything to indicate why the sieve's not being invoked, or
even anything logging its attempts to run it - I'm concerned I might not
have the cmusieve plugin available, but I can't find a way of getting a
list of available plugins out of dovecot.
ls /usr/lib/dovecot/modules should give you a rough idea of what
you've got.
