Hello, I'm trying to configure sieve plugin on my mail server so that people
can do mail filtering (and mostly vacation notification) on their account. The
mail server is running fine since 5 years and is based on :- sendmail- dovecot-
roundcube It serves 2 differents domains. I've recently installed pigeonhole
for fc17, and managed to configure managesieve plugin in roundcube
successfully. Users can now manage filters from roundcube. The problem is that
filters are not applied when new mails arrives. I've modified dovecot.conf to
activate sieve plugin, and the configuration is as follow : # dovecot -n#
2.1.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf# OS: Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 x86_64
Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) log_path = /var/log/dovecot.logmail_debug =

| $DELIVER As it is a production server, I'm not confident to make
modifications in all directions, and would need some help to process safely
this update on my mail server.
I think I'm missing some parameters somewhere, but the question is... where ?
so any help would be appreciated. RegardsFranck.
