Hello Dovecot users,
Relatively many bugs and problems were reported recently in a short period of time. Apparently, now that Dovecot v1.2 is finally stable, the new Sieve plugin is also starting to get used much more. No known bugs remain. Let's hope I didn't spawn any new ones.
Apart from the bugfixes I made the deprecated notify plugin implementation compatible with CMUSieve. You can use it, but keep in mind that the (rather stupid) denotify command is not (yet) implemented and that the $text$ substitution does not work (yes, there is a world of differences compared to enotify).
Changelog Sieve v0.1.9:
- Removed the unfinished sieve-filter tool from the default build. It is now only built when the --with-unfinished-features switch is supplied during configure.
- Started building support for the ereject version of the reject action, which has a preference to use an SMTP/LMTP protocol error in stead of a bounce message. This is to be used to make the Sieve plugin honour Deliver's -e parameter. This is not yet finished and not built by default.
- Improved 'Permission denied' error messages just like Dovecot does, precisely specifying what permission is missing to access or create a file.
- Added additional headers to the list of allowed headers for the address test. The restrictive nature of the address test is not always appropriate. Still thinking of a better, less restrictive implementation.
- Made the deprecated notify extension compatible with the old CMUSieve plugin. However, the denotify command and the $text$ substitution are not yet supported.
- Made the discard action log a message to avoid confusion about disappearing messages.
- Fixed behavior of fileinto when delivering into a namespace prefix. It now uses silent delivery into INBOX as fallback.
- Fixed logging of folder namespace prefix upon delivery into a prefixed namespace. Formerly it only logged the bare folder name.
- Fixed a potential segfault in the argument validation. It didn't surface because no command could have a :tag followed by an associated parameter as last argument.
- Fixed segfault bug occuring in envelope test when performed on null (<>) envelope path. The fix involves a rather large restructuring of the code to make sure envelope addresses are properly handled everywhere (bug reported by Nikita Koshikov)
- Envelope: fixed bug in application of address parts; failure to obtain the part would cause inappropriate match success (bug reported by Ron Lee)
- Fixed extension conflict checks during validation. It could sometimes produce useless errormessages. This is currently only used by the deprecated extensions.
- Forgot to remove old explicit storage library dependency (patch by Arkadiusz Miskiewicz).
- Fixed compiler warnings on certain platforms regarding the use fwrite for outgoing message construction
