[Dovecot] Pigeon Sieve, redirect action and SPF
by Pedro Ribeiro 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Since I've upgraded to dovecot 2.0.13 + Pigeonhole 0.2.3 (Gentoo package) I've received a few complains of users about rejected messages. Investigating the problem, I've seen that when the external sender server publishes SPF information, when some message is sent from there to one of my users that has a Sieve redirect action active to another external system (that does SPF validation), the message is rejected because our system only changes the envelope "rcpt to" in the redirection and the "mail from" remains the original. When the end server does the SPF validation it fails because my server isn't in the IP allow list for the domain of the original sender. I never seen this problem in the old Dovecot+CMUSieve. Shouldn't the sender be changed in the envelope "mail from" from the original one to the recipient that made the Sieve redirection? Keep the excellent work with dovecot and related projects!

[Dovecot] sievec - manual compile of global sieve scripts?
by Thomas Harold 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

How do you compile global scripts using the sievec command without making the script directory owned (and group writable) by the vmail user? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Usage # cd /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ # (edit some script like spam.sieve that runs for everyone) # /usr/local/bin/sievec spam.sieve spam.svbin sievec(root): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(spam.svbin.hostname.26921.) in directory /etc/dovecot/sieve/before failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot/sieve/before, euid is not dir owner) # ls -la /etc/dovecot/sieve/before/ drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 1 15:56 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 1 13:23 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 477 Aug 1 15:33 spam.sieve Or do I just make the /etc/dovecot/sieve/ tree owned and writable by the vmail:vmail user? (Which worked, but seems like a bad idea.)

[Dovecot] web interface for user creation/vacation
by Chris Cappuccio 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

What are the best web interfaces for user/domain management, perhaps one that also allows individual users to edit vacation msgs? Right now I'm using a postfixadmin based mysql control panel. Curious what is the better stuff out there that people are using with dovecot/sieve these days? Are there any decent front-ends to setup/manage per-user sieve filters?

[Dovecot] Redelivery of messages in Maildir through sieve to be re-sorted
by Thomas Harold 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/RefilterMail That solution looks great for a single user, but is it possible to do a larger version that runs for everyone on the server? I'm speaking specifically of a virtual setup where all mailboxes are owned by a common UID/GID. It seems like (with brief testing) that I could search for mail inside of a "Refilter" folder, like /var/vmail/domain.ext/username/Maildir/.Refilter/{cur|new}, and shove that through dovecot-lda. I would just need to put the username/domain.ext back together in the format of username(a)domain.ext. /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d username(a)domain.ext -p (path to message) If dovecot-lda doesn't throw an error, then I could delete the message from the "Refilter" folder and move onto the next message. Or does Dovecot get horribly confused when messages vanish out of the "cur" folder?

[Dovecot] Dovecot and pigeonhole: mail not filtered
by Sebastian Schlingmann 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi everyone, I am running dovecot for quite some time now (currently version 2.0.13). Recently I tried to get Sieve and Managesieve to run. For this purpose I installed pigeonhole 0.2.3 and added sieve to the mail_plugins for lmtp and to the protocols. I also copied the sample 90-sieve.conf and 20-managesieve.conf into my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ directory. In 90-sieve.conf I uncommented the sieve and sieve_dir options and set them to my desired values. After a restart of dovecot I was able to use my webmailer to add sieve scripts via the managesieve protocol. However the sieve scripts do not trigger. Is there any way to test if sieve is even executed when a mail arrives? mail_debug did not give me any relevant information. BTW: I checked my sieve script with the sieve-test command and it would execute the right action (move a mail into a directory). Bye Sebastian
