Replacing antispam plugin with IMAPSieve not 100% correct?
by Marc 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

I think this page[1] is not correct If you configure this option: imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve the file report-spam.svbin cannot be created because users cannot write there.

Using sqlite as dict for last_auth plugin
by Oleg petol 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

Hi! It is required to collect statistics about the time of the last IMAP and POP3 login of the user and the delivery of letters to him via lmtp. The last-login plugin is perfect. But I don't want to use heavy databases as the mail system service is served by the Oracle DB. The most suitable option, as I see, is to store statistics in the sqlite DB, but after going through all the options in the configuration file, I could not use sqlite. When writing in configuration: plugin { driver=sqlite last_login_dict = sqlite:statsdb last_login_key = last-login/%s/%u/%r last_login_precision = ms } I am getting an error: Oct 4 17:01:41 nms4 dovecot: imap(new_ver_test(a)test2.aroma.ru)<154597><q0VJ5jXq9o4KAQDI>: Error: last_login_dict: dict_init(sqlite:statsdb) failed: Unknown dict module: sqlite I did the last-login plugin setup exactly according to the instructions: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/obox/last_login_… I am using standard debian packages. Desperate, I built latest dovecot version from source, but got exactly the same error. Tell me, please, is it possible to use a dictionary in sqlite format to collect last-login plugin statistics? And how should I describe it in the configuration file?

Good Morning Michael, No problem. Although, to be clear I didnt point out anything, but its Sébastien and the credit shall go for him. Also, by the way in EXIM MTA, there is verify syntax condition in data acl, which checks all email headers and validate that they are standards compliant and reject sending any email beforehand to your issue which has non-compliant header and offers the ability to remove such headers with condition handling e.g. if contained any Sieve header, to request removing message id headers with headers_remove and add compliant one with add_header, and I guess this will mitigate any mail service provider rejection issue. If you are postfix user and considering switching, let me know, I might be able to help. Zakaria.

Matching Addresses in Sieve
by Doug Hardie 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

I have an email with the following header line: From: 'Thank you!Kohls' <Kohls-MNc(a)FeedbackKohlsOpinionRequestedlxecrftHO.com> I am trying to match that with: if address :contains "from" "Thank you!Kohls" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Junk"; stop; } However, the matching portion of the from address is only the section between < and >. Since there are changing sections that are different for each email, I can't use that. I wanted to match the stuff before <. I have tried numerous formats for the if statement but none of them have worked. What is the proper way to make that match work? Thanks, -- Doug

new feature: sieve forward plugin
by Marc 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

As this page[1] describes a more often occurring problem of forwarding messages from servers that are not included in the spf records. Maybe there should be a plugin that offers this forward functionality. Something like get the spf records of the sender check if there is a -all then apply the sender substitution. https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/configuring_auto_forward…

Custom post login scripting variables via ID command
by hi＠zakaria.website 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

Hi there, I wonder if dovecot would consider this feature request. In post login scripting, given USER, IP, LOCAL_IP, and userdb lookup fields, are only available, I want to push additional variables from web mail to dovecot using ID commands yet I looked at the source in imap-login-cmd-id.c and script-login.c it seems to be possible while I'm not an expert in C and IMAP standards and not sure if its something would break the standards. I hope the dev team to consider this and if anyone have a workaround or an idea with I can start to patch a workaround myself, please let me know as it would be very much appreciated. With thanks. Zakaria.

what sieve variables / syntax is available to sieve scripts.
by Marc 25 Sep '22

25 Sep '22

1. where can I find all variables like "imap.user" like in mentioned on page[2] 2. I have the impression that variables like "${from}" are all being set from scanning the whole email again seeing these "if matches" statements. Is that not super inefficient? I would assume that such variables would be set and made available upon the receipt of a message. 3. What is the point of this: if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "username" "${1}"; } pipe :copy "sa-learn-ham.sh" [ "${username}" ]; Why can't I just use: pipe :copy "sa-learn-ham.sh" [ "imap.user" ]; [1] require [ "vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "variables" ]; if header :matches "subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } if header :matches "from" "*" { set "from" "${1}"; } pipe :args [ "USER(a)DOMAIN.TLD", "${from}", "${subject}" ] :copy :try "jabber_notify.sh" ; from page https://wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Pipe [2] if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "username" "${1}"; } pipe :copy "sa-learn-spam.sh" [ "${username}" ]; https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/howto/antispam_with_sieve/#how…

test sieve plugin(?) development
by Marc 24 Sep '22

24 Sep '22

Say for testing purposes I would like to add sender email addresses to a database file (eg gdbm) per user. How would I go about doing this? Do I need to create something like in https://github.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/tree/src/lib-sieve/plugins Or can I just create a go binary, and parse data to it? Is there not something like a hello world example for this?
