Re: [Dovecot] Global sieve filter ignored (Long)

Lately though I considered filtering spam with a global sieve filter. I created the /var/vmail/globalsieverc file which contains: require ["fileinto"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] { fileinto "spam"; stop; }

Made certain it was owned by vmail.

Changed the last stanza of /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf which in labeled plugin: sieve_global_path = /var/vmail/globalsieverc

Restarted dovecot

Sent a known spam email (GTUBE)

The resulting email is always delivered to INBOX: 2010-07-19 03:35:19 deliver(xxx@xxx.xxx): Info: msgid=: saved mail to INBOX

Have you enabled sieve for the LDA? Example:

protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve ... ... }
