Hi
If a sieve filter contains a rule
if header :regex ["From"] ["@xxx.com","@yyy.pt"] { fileinto :create "ac"; }
The mail should be copied to the folder ac and then proceed to other rules that a user might have or I understood the
fileinto
wrong?
Using dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64
I use it like this, and it works for me:
if address :is "From" "sender@domain" { fileinto :create "some_mail_folder"; stop; }
Almost 20 years ago, I figured out that I *need* the "stop;" line, but I don't remember why.
The stop; is needed to prevent further script actions on the email and that is a very curious thing that I dont know if falls in the "bug or feature" field.
if I use
if header :regex ["From"] ["@xxx.com","@yyy.pt"] { fileinto :create "ac";
keep;
}
It delivers the mail in my Inbox which was my intention in the first place.
When I used the filter without the keep; and since I didn't had the stop; I was expecting further actions on that email that will lead to the email end up in the Inbox and that didn't happened.
So it apears that the fileinto rule have a stop; into it without the stop being declared.
In a complex mail management scenario that can cause problems. So my question is, "bug or feature"?
