How to use sieves?

2003-12-20 Thread David Wu
Hi guys,

I am kind of new to cyrus... or MDA in that sense. I read that one can 
use sieves in cyrus to create vacation auto-reply kind of actions. I 
read the syntax of sieves and so on. But how do I get started? Do i 
have to install sieves? or its compiled as part of cyrus?. I am using 
the default cyrus came with Mac OS X 1.3 (Panther).
If it is compiled in it , how do i write the script and install it? or 
where do i put it so cyrus would read it?

Thanks Lots
David

I get quite a lot of mail, other lists do this  I find it a useful way of
deciding what to read.
Aaaccckkk!  PLEASE, DO NOT DO THIS!

It's horribly ugly, especially after a few 'Re:'s get stuck on the
front; and it's completely redundant given the constant value of
the Sender: header.
Any decent modern MUA provides much better methods for separating out
messages from different sources based on a variety of headers.
And since almost everyone subscribed to this list is likely to be
using Cyrus, they have the option of delivering directly to a sub-
mailbox using either detail notation or Sieve filtering.  (This
does assume that they are using IMAP rather than POP to access the
mailbox though.)
If anything is done, I'd be in favor of the addition of the List-*
headers used by other mailing list managers.  (I believe there is
an RFC for them; but I don't know what it is.)
(I also favor rejecting messages with no Subject: at all; but
that's another rant...)

I don't know if this will alter things any, but since you're
already using latest of the other software, why not use latest of
db too?  (Not, DB2.  HA!  Sorry, that's pretty lame.)

Delivery directly to mailboxes

2003-12-20 Thread Nils Vogels
Hi list,

I'm trying to use the deliver binary to deliver to a subfolder, which is 
in the tree like this:

INBOX
 \ lists
 \ listname
and I'm trying to have something delivered to the 'listname' folder.

Delivery to the 'lists' folder works fine using /path/to/deliver -a user 
-m lists user, however delivery to the 'listname' folder does not work 
as I would expect
using /path/to/deliver -a user -m lists.listname user

Is there a way to deliver directly to the listname folder ?

Thx in advance,

Nils.
