Thank you. I will have to look at "basic configuration" for sieving although I don't want things crashing on production.

I get too much mail at a publicly available address -- and while SPF+DKIM+DMARC does cut down on the bulk of obvious spam -- the spam that does get through is a little bit too "legitimate" to eliminate without special sieving rules.

This stuff really needs to be configurable per user without abusing root privileges and without futzing at the command line, or else it just isn't useful to the end user on the desktop or mobile device. Sieving needs to be either an email client thing, or else a standard interface for rules that can be configured and uploaded to Dovecot from the email client / reader software.

I encountered an interesting problem that one originator was being dumped into the Deleted file directly by my sieve.  The sieve file was quite large and it was not obvious which entry was causing the issue.  I recall there was a way to get sieve-test to show what is going on and which lines it used, but I could not replicate it tonight for anything.  I ended up having to change all the deliver to the Deleted files to something else and test one at a time to find the offending entry.  It took a long time.  How do you get sieve-test to show the actual path it took through the file?

Hi Doug, take a loot at https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/configuration/#trace-debugging

It might help.

Kind regards,
Aki
