Hi all, can you clarify my doubts about sieve? I understand what is it, but what's the different between use exim with rules + dovecot and use exim + dovecot-lda + sieve rules? i can create many kind of rules on exim, then i don't get the difference.
if someone is so kind to explain me the main points i'll appreciate it!
Generally, rules at the MTA (exim) level are global. Rules at the LDA (dovecot-sieve) level are user-controlled. Mail user agents that support sieve allow users to set their own personalized filtering and sorting rules. I am not aware of any mail user agents that allow individual users to set filter rules at the exim level that would only apply to one user.
That's not completely correct, because exim supports filtering at user level if allow_filter ist set in a redirect router, e.g. the one reading the user .forward file.
