Ok, then I'll post here.
I asked because it is only now, after three weeks of trying to understand Sieve and how to filter spam out, that I realised that one needs a separate programme to enable Sieve in Dovecot. I had thought that it was included in Dovecot ,abd one only had to enable a plugin reference in the dovecot.conf. Because another programme has to be installed, I had thought that it was not part of Dovecot proper, and would need to be addressed to another list. I know that I shall run into Sieve related config problems, but did not want to burden this list with these.
i dont know how to use sieve to filter spam ( thought it must exec a external prog for that like spamc etc), some people use dspam plugin to filter spam with dovecot, i only use sieve to filter allready marked spam into users spam folders, i use spamass-milter with postfix smtp level, there are several ways you can do spam filtering, and on what level, so there is amavis too etc
However, I compiled Dovecot Sieve and installed it into the default of /usr/local, and it looks like I have a second installation of Dovecot :( I downloaded Sieve from wget http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.16.tar.gz. Looks like the install guide I found that said to install Sieve had a typo' and the URL was for the whole of Dovecot. better use the recent stable branch 2.09
i) Does anyone know where I can download Dovecot Sieve from?
ii) Is there a way of removing all the files I installed from the previous 'make instal'l I did? I tried a 'make uninstall', but this did not remove everything.I know this looks compleatly braindead to anyone else reading this list... myself included ... buts too late ( in both cases ). Question ii) has been solved ( I think ) : cd /usr/local; find | grep dovecot > /tmp/a; for i in
cat /tmp/a; do rm -r $i;done Seems to have worked! hm why arent you using distro packs.... if unsure where files are copied i.e do make install again at the last few lines apaering you should see where they got copied (for sure there are better ways to uninstall, i didnt thought of yet)
Hi Robert,
I used the Debian for Doevcot 1.2, but I did not think that it included Dovecot Sieve. Hence I am trying to find it.
I did read that the postfix master.cf entry for dovecot had to be modified by adding the -a option. My current one has: dovecot-spamass unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}
This is so that it uses spamc to add some Headers to it - I would like Sieve to read these and then take an action.
I added the -a option:- ( from http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve ) dovecot-spamass unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -e /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -a -d ${recipient} and it broke it:
, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: Fatal: Unknown argument: test@test.info Usage: deliver [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-k] )
Obviously, I had to add the -a with a value such as recipient, yet I already have $recipient with the -d option. Would it work if I added : /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -a ${recipient} -d ${recipient} ?
Regards.
