Hello,
I just migrated from Postfix/Courier/Maildrop to
Postfix/Dovecot/Deliver/Sieve and don't unterstand the right syntax
for sieve :(
I searched and found many small examples and many links to the RFC,
but nothing was usefull for me (or i didn't unterstand it)
I installed the latest Dovecot-Sieve (hg).
Examples from my maildrop config:
I've never used maildrop before, but using its docs and some guesswork
I'll give it a go. The mentioned folder names may depend on your
namespace config, particularly in terms of a INBOX prefix; use whatever
is used in IMAP. The scripts below are a little more verbose than
necessary, as I always explicitly list the :is match type.
require fileinto;
require subaddress; /* for the :domain part (last script) */
# Filter FROM
if($E =~ /n...@domain1\.tld/)
{
to $M/.Friends.Name1/
}
if address :is from n...@domain1.tld {
fileinto Friends.Name1;
}
# Filter FROM with OR
if($E =~ /na...@domain1\.tld/ || $E =~ /na...@domain2\.tld/)
{
to $M/.Friends.Name2/
}
if anyof (
address :is from na...@domain1.tld,
address :is from na...@domain2.tld) {
fileinto Friends.Name2;
}
Or equivalently and much shorter:
if address :is from [na...@domain1.tld,na...@domain2.tld] {
fileinto Friends.Name2;
}
# Filter Mailinglists
if (/^List-Id: .*sylpheed\.sraoss\.jp/)
{
to $M/.ML.Sylpheed/
}
if header :contains list-id sylpheed.sraoss.jp {
fileinto ML.Sylpheed;
}
# Filter FROM AND SUBJECT
if($E =~ /fn...@domain.tld/ /^Subject: *foo/)
{
to $M/.foo/
}
if allof (
address :is from fn...@domain.tld,
/* Space between field name and value is trimmed implicitly */
header :matches subject foo* )
{
fileinto foo;
}
# Filter TO
if (hasaddr(n...@domain.tld))
{
to $M/.foo/
}
if address :is :comparator i;ascii-casemap
[|to|, |cc|,| resent-to|, |resent-cc|]
[n...@domain.tld] {
fileinto foo;
}
# Or something like this:
if($E =~ /@facebookmail\.com/)
{
if (/^Subject: .*invited you to join the group/)
{
to $M/.Facebook.Invites.Groups/
}
if (/^Subject: .*invited you to the event/)
{
to $M/.Facebook.Invites.Events/
}
}
if address :is :domain from facebookmail.com {
if header :matches subject invited you to join the group* {
fileinto Facebook.Invites.Groups;
} elseif header :matches subject invited you to the event* {
fileinto Facebook.Invites.Events;
}
}
Is that possible?
Yes, given the above examples.
Or is maildrop simple more powerful?
Maildrop is more powerful, particularly because it can execute arbitrary
binaries. For security reasons, Sieve doesn't support that at all. But,
since you are not using such functionality, your migration should be
problem-free.
Thank you :-)
PS: The above scripts were produced in an ad-hoc fashion. I haven
bothered to do syntax checking.

Stephan.

Iew! Not sure where these '|' chars came from, but these are obviously
not supposed to be there:
if address :is :comparator i;ascii-casemap
[to, cc, resent-to, resent-cc]
[n...@domain.tld] {
fileinto foo;
}

THANKS for the big help. Converting it now :-)
But have another problem with the fileinto-command :(
I alway get a failed to find namespace for mailbox 'foo'
but/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/.foo/ exist.
I tried it with:
fileinto foo; and fileinto .foo;
I think it's because of my old courier maildir structure.
My maildir looks like:
/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/cur/
/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/new/
/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/.Foo/
/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/.Foo.Foo1/
/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/.Foo.Foo2/
/home/vmail/domain.tld/name/.Foo.Foo.Foo/
IMAP works fine with:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
}
(but i don't have any files/directories beginning with INBOX.)
I tried to change the prefix to and . but then i can't access any
folder. Folders only works with INBOX.
Any idea what's the right way with my maildir structure?
Thank you!
Dieter

2010/9/17 Patrick Westenberg p...@wk-serv.de: This works for me: fileinto :create INBOX.foo; :create will create this folder if it does not exist. Thanks, works fine now :-) One small issue: My mail client (kmail) always want to open the INBOX.dovecot.sieve (because there is a .dovecot.sieve file for the filter). (Client show it as dovecot/sieve folder) Is there a way to hide this? Thanks

2010/9/17 Patrick Westenberg p...@wk-serv.de: User specific sieve files are placed in the home directories while mails are stored in the given mail_location (can be a subdirectory of the home directory) Thanks. I tested something and set a sieve-config outside my maildirs: # dovecot -n |grep sieve sieve: /home/vmail-sieve/%u/main.filter sieve_dir: /home/vmail-sieve/%u/ sieve_global_dir: /home/vmail-sieve/global/ Works fine, except i can't include files from sieve_global: I have a file in /home/vmail-sieve/m...@domain.tld/main.filter with: require [fileinto, include]; include :global spam.filter; /home/vmail-sieve/global/spam.filter exists Errors: Error: sieve: failed to open script /home/vmail-sieve/n...@domain.tld/main.filter (view logfile /home/vmail-sieve/n...@domain.tld/main.filter.log for more information) Log: main_script: line 2: error: included global script 'spam.filter' does not exist. main_script: error: validation failed. I though :global searches inside the sieve_global_dir? Or is there a way to debug errors like this better? Thanks
