Re: Filtering mails with sieve filters - SOLVED

You might consider adding "stop;" after the fileinto, otherwise a second match might process the message again, moving it elsewhere, etc.

Answering to myself,

The issue was as a result of a config parameter for SOGo:

Changed NGImap4ConnectionStringSeparator = "/";

to

NGImap4ConnectionStringSeparator = ".";

and the problem is solved.

Hello good people,

I have dovecot- 2.3.7.2 (Ubuntu  Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) running fine.
However, I have a hitch with mail filtering.

Using SOGo as the webmail UI, I created a filter rule which resulted
into the rule below:

require ["fileinto"];
if allof (address :contains "from" "odhiambo") {
     fileinto "INBOX/Odhiambo";
}

However, the test mail I sent did not end up the folder expected.

lda.log contains this info:
Oct 30 07:39:07 lda(wash@mydomain)<2415266><tSKSHhvDm1+i2iQA9H6eMA>:
Info: sieve:
msgid=<CAAdA2WNqXpG1qmOmKp_pJPS6iQrEPeS6=vM_=o8UnvR152x54Q@mail.gmail.com

And the .dovecot.sieve.log contains:
sieve: info: started log at Oct 30 07:39:07.
error:

What might be the problem here??
