Well I'll put in another plug for my own piece of work..
http://www.mvmf.org/includes several tools among which are:
- mvmda, mail delivery agent with a powerful scripting language, including a SIEVE submode (which can be used exclusively or in conjunction with non-sieve elements);
So when can this use Dovecot directly? ;)
I use it with dovecot now :)
If you mean... updating the indexes and so forth, I have been thinking about that again lately. I still think the best thing would be for you to supply a small utility that can be used by other delivery agents (or whatever) to either:
- dumbly deliver a message to a folder, but in a way that's friendly to dovecot's indexing, a la uw's tool the name of which escapes me; or
- accept some info that would update the indexes for a specific message.
Alternatively I was thinking about adding support for dovecot-style indexing, but I'd first have to understand those indexes. The wiki is empty on the subject and I haven't yet attempted to scour the code. One problem here is that the delivery agent and dovecot would both have to agree about what is being indexed; I suppose the delivery agent could read the dovecot.conf file but I'd like to avoid that level of connection.
I looked at it when first writing Dovecot LDA, but it seemed way too much trouble to use it compared to Cyrus Sieve library.
yes it's not packaged to be used as a library, although it could be, as the code is logically divided up that way. I've got more than one application that uses the MFL library (the language that includes Sieve).
