ok here comes the data
the sieve rule is simple
if header :contains ["subject"] ["redirect"] {redirect
"henry at gmail.com"; stop;}
first of all the main issue is the sieve "redirect" to a email address
on a foreign server. In our case gmail.
(sieve is a part of dovecot, and I found no possibility to make sieve
more verbose.)
I can make postfix verbose but it just say that relay is not permitted.
to test sieve and the rule I send a email from henry at live.de (Hotmail)
to my account on the server. henry at example.net and expect it to be
redirected to henry at gmail.com
The only interesting line in the log-file is still
NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.example.net[62.78.xxx.xxx]: 554 5.7.1
<henry at gmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<henry at live.de>
to=<henry at gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.example.net>
it say that sieve is trying to make a email FROM henry at live.de TO
henry at gmail.com and send it via mail.example.net.
*this is crazzy.*
I think that this is the reason why I get the relay not permitted.
afaik it should envelope the email using henry at example.net
Even I transform my own server in a open relay and send the email like
sieve want it to be redirected it will be rejected by the destination
server because my server is no authority for gmail.
Does somebody know how I can teach sieve to send as envelope ?
