Hi,
I'm currently running version v2.0.x in production (using Maildir storage) and it's been working well. I'm interested in moving to version 2.2.x and am preparing a test server to do so. As I have been merging the conf file changes between the two versions I noticed syntax changes for the 90-sieve.conf file.
There are now 'locations' and presumably to keep referring to local content I'll need to use the 'file:' location type.
On my production box (v2.0.x) I have 90-sieve.conf configured like so:
sieve = /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = /var/vmail/sieve/global.sieve sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/sieve_dir
Inside of the /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/ directory (i.e., /var/vmail/sieve/example.com/testuser/) I find:
drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 64 Oct 19 12:07 . drwxr-xr-x 9 vmail vmail 101 Jun 21 10:47 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 25 Jun 21 11:10 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve_dir/roundcube.sieve -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 3694 Oct 19 12:07 .dovecot.svbin drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 38 Oct 19 11:58 sieve_dir
and that works well.
I never did work out the new syntax, so I kept the older and so far it is working fine with v2.2.13. I did have to remove the old compiled versions of the Sieve scripts to get things working.
I had at least one case (one specific account) where the script was recompiled automatically, but for the other accounts I did have to nuke the *.svbin file to force a recompilation of the Sieve scripts. Only in one case was a message logged (with debug mode enabled) re a version mismatch and the script recompiled automatically.
It may not be the best way to do it, but this is what I did:
rm -i $(find . -type f /var/vmail/sieve/example.com/ | grep svbin)
After that the scripts began working as expected (using the older syntax which I mentioned in the last email). If anyone has any suggestions for updating the syntax for those configuration options I'd appreciate it. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. Everything I thought should work didn't.
