Hello,
http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-1.2-managesieve/file/tip/README contains
the paragraphs (line 47):
"
mail_location =
If, for some inobvious reason, the sieve_storage remains unset, the
managesieve daemon uses the specification of the mail_location to find out
where to store the sieve files. However, this is provided only for backwards
compatibility and you should always use the sieve_storage setting in stead.
Additionally, the ManageSieve service uses the following settings from the plugin
section of the config file. These settings are the ones used by the Sieve plugin.
sieve_dir =
This specifies the path to the directory where the uploaded scripts are
stored. Scripts are stored as separate files with extension .sieve, all other
files are ignored when scripts are listed by a ManageSieve client. If this
setting remains unspecified, the mail_location setting is used as explained
above.
"
Because sieve_storage is not mentioned anywhere else in the document
and because of this discussion:
http://dovecot.markmail.org/message/kzjpwdhyqhdn53zd , I suspect that
sieve_dir is the older naming of it. However, the source code uses
getenv("SIEVE_DIR") in lib-cmusieve, so this assumption is probably wrong.
What's the correct meaning and placement of sieve_storage and sieve_dir ?
Bye,
