Re: [Dovecot] How to create rules?

Hi, I have dovecot installed and working fine. I would like (server side) a rule runs on all messages and if it finds certain words in the message it will run a script which will send a new email.

In order to use sieve with dovecot, you must

1. be running a very recent version (1.0.RC2 recommended)
2. build dovecot with deliver (--with-deliver)
3. build the sieve plugin out of cvs
4. configure dovecot to use the sieve plugin
5. create a sieve script for the user
6. configure your LDA to use dovecot's deliver

You don't have to be running any special software to do #4; the sieve scripts are normal textfiles which will be compiled when deliver first attempts a deliver to that user. See
